I tried to use it in a match statement with 3.0.5 or .6, to no avail, 
but 3.0.7 has this promising little comment in the release notes:

I haven't checked it yet, but it would be a really nice feature.

You will have to use something like packet(20,4) to find the giaddr 
(look up the correct offset in the specs), and then it might be a good 
idea to do some binary-to-ascii() on it to make it readable. I think it 
returned all-ones or all-zeroes in previous versions.
