Ethernet 802.3 -- Common name: "Raw" 802.3
Ethernet 802.3 has no protocol ID and can only carry IPX packets. It is distinguishable from Ethernet_802.2 only because the first 2 bytes of all IPX packets carried on Ethernet 802.3 must be all ones, which makes no sense in Ethernet 802.2. "Raw" 802.3 was the default frame type for NetWare software until NetWare v4.0 was released.
