Anyone have tips on how you loose a few bytes? I get 12 bytes between
the Ethernet header and IP header. This means that wireshark does not
recognize the IP header as, and I can't use any of the wireshark's
advanced features.

Anyone know how to get rid of those bytes, or perhaps what they are?
* My card is Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG
* The wireless switch is D-Link DIR-635
* The problem only happens in promiscuous mode, and only to the
packets not directed to my computer
* I attach picture of a window of a sample http packet
* Please help :)

Actually it looks like this packet might have a third mac at the beginning:
Is the length of 02 d7 really correct? Sending a packet would have
helped more than the image you sent and have been smaller.
After the third mac it looks to me that there is an ordinary LLC/SNAP
header.
The LLC dissector attempted to dissect the first 4 bytes, right after ethernet length. Again, I will have to send full data on Monday.

Thank you for the help!

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
