I guess I was unclear.  Let's say we have one device running Ethereal and 
three capture devices at 10.1.9.65, 10.1.10.65 and 10.1.11.65. What I mean is 
I'd like a filter saying "collect in Ethereal only packets from the capture 
device whose IP is 10.1.9.65".  That capture device could have a capture 
filter of its own and likewise Ethereal could have a display filter of its 
own.
