Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] 802.11 Initialization vector

["guoquan" <neokc@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
    there's something i do not understand when 
reading an 802.11 frame. how do you read the 
initialization vector (IV). Ethereal output the 
IV something like 0xaabbcc (in the middle 
window). however, on the data window (the 
bottom window) the IV actually reads as ccbbaa. 
so actually which is the correct way of 
reading, is 0xaa the first byte of the IV or is 
0xcc the first byte, thanks.
