Actually there is a difference; here's a dump from laptop where the 
device connects to the Windows machine:

I didn't get the "Beacon" entries before. I expected to see actual data 
packets in tcpdump, but I assume they are not in the dump because we're 
only looking at the 802.11 events with -y ieee802_11?

Other than this, all the other oddities are the same, and hopefully 
insignificant.
