No, I mean all 802.11 frames are encapsulated in 802.3 frames by our firmware.

Including management frames?  802.3 frames don't have any way of 
indicating 802.11 management frames - it looks, from a patch somebody 
sent us a while ago (that's now checked in) as if some Windows driver 
for some 802.11 adapter in Centrino systems, or the firmware for that 
adapter, puts management frames into 802.3 frames with a special 
Ethernet type value.
