This should also fix AppleTalk if someone is using NT Services For Macintosh or PCMacLAN in a VM. |

Summary
This PR modifies the PCAP filter accordingly:
broadcastkeyword is used instead offf:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffThe biggest effect is fixing NetBEUI / NetBIOS which was not working before: NetBEUI uses a multicast address (
03:00:00:00:00:01) instead of a standard ethernet broadcast which was not passing the PCAP filter.Anything that uses NetBEUI / NetBIOS should now work with PCAP, including LAN Manager. Any other L3 that uses multicast should also now work.
Screenshot of win98 with no TCP/IP installed, using only NetBEUI to communicate with another win98 host configured the same:
