I was only searching for 'radius.Mac_Addr' (as stated in
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/r/radius.html).

I was using 'radius.MAC_Address' with underscore in my filters (as

in the dictionary. That's a bit confusing.

Can both versions (underscore and hyphen) be used for all attributes or
what's the one to be used.
