I assumed from you initial mail you were using a BPF filter, not
libpcap, which presumably doesnt use these new 'instructions'

Adapting the BPF filter generated by libpcap is a matter of adding 3 or
4 instructions. In your case 2 instructions actually

One to load tag id into A
One to compare A against immediate value 4094 and conditional jump.
