No, filters only filter, they don't sort, and they act on each packet  
individually, just acting on individual fields in a packet; there's no  
history of the sort that would be needed to filter out duplicates.

What's the definition of a duplicate beacon here?  Same SSID?  And  
what's the information you want to put into the database?
