    This may be a simple question ... I would like to limit the
ethereal output on the screen only to some fields in a certain
protocol (say AODV). I wonder how this could be done?
It can't be done without modifying the dissector for the particular protocol. (It wouldn't be done with a display filter in any case - that controls which *packets* are displayed, not which *fields* are displayed.)
