Can you please:

 - capture the packets with tcpdump
 - open the capture with ethereal
 - if the packets don't show, post the capture
 - if the packets show, capture the packets with ethereal and post the capture -even though they are not displayed-
 - if possible, perform the same tests with tethereal instead of ethereal, to eliminate the possible effects of the GUI -although I would think it is more likely the dissection that might affect-

Be sure you don't use any capture or display filter -like, e.g., a filter specifying ICMP Echos, that would accept only the first fragment of each packet-.

Best regards,
