Perhaps an important difference between the two systems is that on the ALIX embedded system, packet injection is happening over a WiFi NIC whereas on the desktop system packet injection is happening on the Desktop NIC.

Yes.  See my earlier reply.  802.11 supports bigger packets than  Ethernet.

Thank you very much for your help Guy. It turns out that I built my program to cache and inject 802.11 frames. Now that I have modified the way that I calculate the frame size such that it is inline with Ethernet, I can now inject packets. One of those things that should have occurred to me but didn't.

Apologies for the double post, my email was acting funny and I assumed the first email was not sent.
