Title: capturing retransmitted package from data-link layer

Hi all.

I hope with this that anyone can give an answer to my problems:

Suppose I send data traffic through wireless interface (UDP package) from PC A to PC B.
When there are collisions on the link, or the link is unstable, some package will be lost and need to
be restransmitted. As far as I know this will be taken care of by the data link layer/ethernet layer.
The question is whether ethereal can capture these retransmitted package as well?
If not, is there any tool that can do that?

Thanks for your time and support.


Regards
