I was using ethereal to sort through some logs of my wireless network, 
but it was very time consuming because my Access Point beacons 10 times 
a second, which generates a lot of data that I don't want.  I found 
that with the filter expression "wlan.fc.type_subtype != 8" I can 
filter out the beacon frames, but is there a way to make a capture 
filter that will capture the first beacon frame and then stop writing 
them to the log?  Thank you.
