Dear Group,

I have been using Ethereal for a while now and find it to be an awesome resource. However, just recently, as I was doing an experiment with VTun (an opensource VPN solution) I noticed Ethereal reporting "Linux cooked capture", which seems to add an additonal 2 bytes. What is "Linux cooked capture"? (Please see here for a screen capture: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/hthomsch/vtun/ethereal/Ethereal_capture_pic_of_VTun.jpg)

Thank you very much.
I look forward to your replies.

Sincerely,
Rutger
