Hm. No, this didn't work.
But when I set 'Capture Filter:' to "No Broadcast and no Multicast" in the "Wireshark: Capture Options" Dialog it works.
No more broadcast packets are shown.
Now I discovered that I have all those packets from other wifi networks in my list.
How can I filter them out?

And still the decryption of the packets of my wifi network doesn't work at all.
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/201107/msg00071.html

It gives no sense to capture my network without decrypting it.
I think I just give it up, my last hope is the Neowin Developer, Robert Wright, who wrote the article about Wireshark 
on Macbook with decryption. 
I sent him an email.

Thank you anyway.

Kind regards, 

Frank Walter

OK, this is clear now. Thank you!

Now I used my MacBook laptop to do wireless sniffing in monitor mode with Wireshark
1.6.1.
I see many, many packets with Destination "Broadcast" (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
When I try to set a filter that all those Broadcast-packets are omitted, it ends only in
an empty list.
I tried:

eth.dst != ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

but also with eth.dst == ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

the result is empty. I don't know how to call the Destination, the context-menu "Apply
as filter / Selected" gives me the wrong name (eth.dst).

What is it?

Both display filters
   eth.dst != ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   eth.dst!=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
work for me (Wireshark 1.6.0). Are you sure you have broadcast and
not-broadcast packets.

Anyway you should use
   !(eth==ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff)
to exclude broadcast.
