It only works for Ethernet II and not the > 802.3 ethernet protocol that Novell used as a default for a long time. The 802.3 that Novell used for a long time had a framing violation; I'm not suprised. The workaround was the fact that the protocol ID was in the illeal size range, at which time you treated it as an encapsulated packet. It's fairly easy to support, since it doesn't really require a different LLC or anything.
