What hardware/OS/... are you using to capture these frames ?

Are you also getting good frames using the same setup ??

Wireshark shows the frames as being all zeros with no ethernet address, 
etc. which makes me wonder if these frames are actually really "on the 
wire".

Do do get the same results using an alternate capture program (windump 
for Windows or tcpdump for *nix) ?

The same with an alternate capture platform ? (eg: Windows iso *nix)?
