Well, that does raise two questions:

        1) has Labtam given up the OUI 00-00-78 (which the IEEE site
           says they still own)?


Can't say about that, but I have seen numerous references to it
being a Cisco OUI, including in Ethereal itself.


        2) do the networking stacks on 802.11 clients all know that an
           OUI of 00-00-78 should be treated the same as an OUI of
           00-00-00, or are 00-00-78/0800 packets also not recognized as
           IP packets by 802.11 clients?


I will try to firm that up on Monday, or sooner if I can get out of
the house this weekend. ;)
