My first thought, exactly. Apropos of this, I have a question...
# tcpdump
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
What does the EN10MB mean? I'm guessing Ether Net 10 MegaBit per second.
I'm using 100 Base T, so I wonder whether this is just a left-over
