...then again, maybe there should be a way of saying "show me all packets
{from,to} MAC-48 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, *regardless* of whether they're
Ethernet or Token Ring or FDDI or 802.1 or... packets.

If, for example, you could say "link host XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" in a display
filter, and have it match all packets where the dl_src or dl_dst at any level
matches that value, and have "apply as filter" use that, that would also work
(and let people used to libpcap filters use them...).

For network-layer addresses, that'd also let you do "host foo.example.com" and,
if "foo.example.com" has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, have it match either
one.
