If the user specifies an Ethernet address in an expression such as

"ether host XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", but the device on which you're capturing
isn't a device with Ethernet-style link-layer addresses, report
"ethernet addresses supported only on ethernet, FDDI or token ring", not
"ethernet address used in non-ether expression", as the error.
