Currently, to filter Wireshark for a certain MAC address, you have to put:

eth.addr == 00-14-BF-04-36-1A

I would like to be able to filter with something like the following:

eth.addr == 0014BF04361A  // without the dashes or semicolons
eth.addr == 0014BF*       // with a wildcard

Reason:
We refurb/test voip devices all day long using Wireshark to sniff the packets. 
With these enhancments, we could use scanners to scan the MACs from the devices
(which never have dashes/semicolons in the barcodes) or just put the "MAC
family" to be able to sniff for a device while it is booting.

Thanks and great product!
Shanon
