The Ethereal equivalent of the window that allows you to choose the
parameters would probably be a list of fields, similar to the one in the
"Add Expression" dialog, to let you select packet fields, as this
function should not be specific to DOCSIS (I think people not analyzing
DOCSIS have asked for this).
