There seems to be a problem with filtering using the bootp.hw.addr 
attribute.  A filter string of 

bootp.hw.addr == 00:09:27:92:2c:3b 

will yield a 

"Unable to parse filter string \"bootp.hw.addr == 00:09:27:92:2c:3b\""

error dialog.  The type of bootp.hw.addr is FT_BYTES.  Does filtering in 
ethereal not work properly for FT_BYTES, or is something else broken?

The same seems to hold true for the fields ntp.flags, and ntp.stratum,
both of which are type FT_BYTES and both of which produce filter 
errors when you try to filter on them.

Any thoughts?
