Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Fake MAC addresses in text2pcap and "Import from hex dump"

When synthesizing an Ethernet header, text2pcap uses 0a:02:02:02:02:02 as the destination address and 0a:01:01:01:01:01 as the source address, while "Import from hex dump" uses 20:52:45:43:56:00 as the destination and 20:53:45:4E:44:00 as the source.

Is there some reason why they're different?

If not, which of them *should* both be using?
Even if  R E C V and S E N D is clever I think I prefer the other one which makes it clearer that it's a fake MAC.

Regards
Anders
