Hi, everyone
 
I have two computer working in the ad-hoc mode with wavelan cards.
The problem is:
The sender sends multicast frame through wvlan card with the 802.3 ethernet (Captured by ethereal 0.9.3). However, the receiver captured a ethernet II frame( Also using ethereal 0.9.3). The data is in the different format in the ethereal, but with the same contents. Why 802.3 and ethernet II, not 802.11?
I checked the ethereal supporting the wlan (802.11). And the configuration of wvlan is 802.11-DS shown in iwconfig. (ifconfig is ethernet, because iwconfig is used insyead of ifconfig.).
 
Thanks for your help inadvance.
