I'm trying to set some display filters for tethereal that seem okay by the
docs but cause errors when I use them.

I want to see everything on eth0 except ipx traffic, so I say
  tethereal -i eth0 "not ipx"
but I get 
  tethereal: Unable to parse filter string (parse error).
However if I say something like
  tethereal -i eth0 "not ip"
then I get lots of IPX traffic, but no IP traffic, which is what I'd
expect.  I have the same problem filtering NetBIOS, NBNS, and some
others.  The converse is also true, I can't filter "ipx" or "netbios" or
the like.

I installed the x86 RPM (on an RH6.2 box).  Perhaps I should go get the
source?
