Thanks for your willingness to look at this.  I'm glad to have a tool like
Wireshark because I can't interpret the raw packets. =)

Attached are three ping packets that my Wireshark PC caught.  The info line
complains "Bogus IP length (8, less than header length 24)".


I see an extra 20 bytes between the ethernet header and the ip header; I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what those bytes are. (I'll certainly be interested to see the determination as to what they are).


Ethernet hdr specifying type  0x0800 [IP]
0000  00 12 79 63 1a 8c 00 30  b6 53 00 06 08 00

20 unknown (to me) bytes
0000                                             b6 53
0010  00 08 00 01 4a 9e 0e 06  88 64 11 00 00 06 00 3e
0020  00 21

looks like a good ip hdr & icmp payload
