It's a pseudo field that is generated by Wireshark and isn't actually
present in the frame, but it's not hidden. If you expand an ARP request,
you'll see a line that says either "[Is gratuitous: False]" or "[Is
gratuitous: True]". You can right-click that line and select "Apply as
Filter" or "Prepare a Filter" just like any other filterable field.

Hi,

Use this instead:

arp.isgratuitous == 1

(it's a hidden field *)

Thanks,
Jaap

*) It says in the source code hidden fields are poor design, since the user
cannot expect to know they are there. This is one example of it.
