Apparently, capturing on an 802.1 link is a little stranger than capturing
on an un-tagged link.  Basically, I have a Linux box set up with Ethereal.
(RedHat 7.2, Ethereal 0.8.20, which has proven to be a bit unstable, I might
add).  Capture filters do not appear to work properly.  I believe it's
because I'm capturing on a tagged link.

Is this a known problem?  Are there workaround?  Do I need to have 802.1Q
support compiled into the kernel and/or active on the interface for filters
to work?

Later...
