question about Layer 2 info displayed in ethereal

difference between "IEEE 802.3" and "Ethernet II" ?

since i am capturing frames on a 10/100 ethernet the
layer 2 info should have been "IEEE 802.3", instead it
is shown as "Ethernet II" (and type is IP 0x0800)

it is commonly understood that ethernet 10/100 is ieee
802.3 ? is that correct ? 
only for some common cisco protocols like cdp packets
the layer 2 shows up as ieee 802.3 ?

so it seems that there is a difference in
encapuslating the layer2 frame ? (between ethernet II
and 802.3) is that correct ?
