Well, this doesn't really have anything to do with addresses. It selects
the "Filter Index" (as named by the datasheet) so I'd rename it `filter`
if anything.

This hardware is actually really unusual since the CAM acts on the
entire first 64 bytes of the packet. So you could theoretically filter
for the source address too, but I don't know why you'd want to since all
you can do is drop the packet. Seems like a big waste of resources to
me.
