    125 <para>If you plan on filtering captured packets (to eliminate them from being
    126 captured), a substantial performance increase can be achieved by letting the
    127 kernel do the filtering. Kernel filtering results in desired packets being
    128 dropped before being handed to userspace programs. To enable kernel filtering,
    129 you must enable the <quote>Network packet filtering</quote> and
    130 <quote><acronym>IP</acronym> tables support</quote> options in the
    131 <quote>Device Drivers</quote> &ndash; <quote>Networking support</quote> &ndash;
    132 <quote>Network packet filtering</quote> section. In addition, you'll need to
    133 install and configure <xref linkend="postlfs-security-iptables"/>.</para>
     125<para>Note: If you want to look at packets, make sure you don't filter
     126them out with <xref linkend="iptables"/>. If you want to exclude
     127certain classes of packets, it is more efficient to do it with
     128<application>iptables</application> than
     129<application>Ethereal</application>.</para>
