Filtering on Ether type, not port

Hello Shorewallers,

My FritzBox vDSL modem-router is spamming my LAN server with HTTP (port 80) 
requests, and the makers say I should open that port to it. Or I could accept 
packets of EtherType 0x88e1 instead, regardless of port number.

Opening port 80 sounds risky to me, so does Shorewall have a way to filter on 
the Ether type?
