There isn't one - yet. I have started to change the dissector
to do something like that (bootp.option.type==1). Currently,
the job is only half finished but I hope to finish it later today.
Please note that I'm working on the Wireshark source, not the
Ethereal source, that's why I have moved the answer to
wireshark-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I don't think so - please check the latest version or Wireshark
(http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/ for a snapshot) and if
it is missing, then please send me a sample capture and a short
reference to documentation (e.g. rfc) and I'll add it.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
