...although that one will only handle what I think is called
"Ethernet_II" IPX, rather than "Ethernet_802.3", "Ethernet_802.2", or
"Ethernet_SNAP" IPX:

Libpcap 0.7.1 and later support just "ipx" as a filter, which, on
Ethernet, checks for all four of those; unfortunately, the WinPcap 2.3
Matt Hoyle is using is based on libpcap 0.6.2, which doesn't support
"ipx" - WinPcap 3.0 beta is based on a snapshot of the current CVS
version of libpcap, which *does* support "ipx".
