No.  Tethereal, when it's dissecting and printing packets (rather than
saving them to a file), displays the protocol tree in a format that
opens up all levels of the protocol tree.

That's the same issue - there's no way to tell Tethereal only to open up
some levels of the protocol tree (and there's no way to tell Tethereal
*or* Ethereal only to display certain levels of the protocol tree).
