An Ethernet frame is at least 64 bytes (60 bytes+4 bytes CRC) when sent over the wire.

The Ethernet CRC is often not visible in Ethereal.

Please note that packets that are sent from the computer where you are doing the capture
may appear as being less than 60 bytes, but will be padded before sent out on the wire.
