I should be able to get a whole variety of different things for that. Is
there an easy way to save a filtered capture file from within ethereal
(i.e. just the matching packets)? I thought I remembered seeing some way
to do it from the command line, but I'm not sure. I should be able to
send you some AFS/RX data as well. Right now though, my capture files
have a ton of other stuff in them.

If there isn't, that would be a nice feature.
