Hi,

I was chasing down some invalid packet lengths in dissect_tftp, and it
seems to me that all ethernet packets have an FCS on the end, and in a lot
of cases we are treating it as data, which screws things up.

Am I correct in this? If so, I suspect that we need to deal with it.

However, packets captured from the loopback interface do not seem to have
an FCS.



Regards
