Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
From time to time, I need to capture packets from devices before they have an IP address / before I know what the IP address is of the device.
E.G.: I have a device with an unknown configuration (will it request DHCP on start up? does it have a static IP configured?) that I will plug into my network. I want to start packet capture on the device before it is powered up so that I can be sure I capture ALL traffic. The only way to do this is by telling tcpdump to capture traffic with an ether host filter.
Describe the solution you like
I would like the packet capture field to also accept a mac address.
Currently, if you try to insert a MAC address, you'll get an error about the input value not being a valid IP address.
Describe alternatives you considered
Currently, I need to do something like this via SSH:

It would be nice if I could use the web interface to capture the packets the same way I can if I had known the IP address of the device.
