The man page for tcpdump explains the libpcap filter syntax. This is the
capture filter syntax used in Ethereal.

For IP packets, your filter would be:

src host firefly

For any protocol (IPX, etc.), your filter would be:

ether src xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

where "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" is the hardware address of your NIC.
