A capture filter of

	ether[10:2] == 0x0007

will check bytes 10 and 11 (the first byte being 0) of the packet 
against 00:07; that checks the last 2 bytes of the source MAC address.

See the tcpdump/WinDump man page for capture filter details; look for 
"expression" to find the description of filters, and look for "expr 
relop expr" for a description of the syntax of general comparisons such

as that.
