Rather than the usual 14 bytes, you've got 18 bytes prepended to your IP packets.

The confusing part is the 2 bytes in front of the MAC addresses and the 2 bytes between the MAC addresses and the ethernet type.

given that my network works (I observe this whilst typing this email on the laptop that has the defect) and also snoop does the right thing, I'd say this looks like a defect in libpcap or?

libpcap and tcpdump, etc, do not modify the data they receive, they just print it out.

Similarly, bpf should only be recording what it receives from the driver/IP.

These all appear to be broadcast packets of one type or another.

Here's a few more (http requests to blogs.sun.com) I have a hard time creating a filter that makes sense though:-)

Of course, for some reason there is 4 bytes in there that should not be there.

So what can be done to address/find out what's causing this? I'm happy to spend some more time on this.
