Okay. Thank you for the correction ~> clarification.
Now I'll keep an eye out (but not quite search for) the differences
between Ethernet (I) and Ethernet II From the preface of _The Ethernet_ Version 2.0:
Version 2.0 of the Ethernet specification reflects the experience of the
three corporations in designing equipment to the Version 1.0 specification.
Version 2.0 includes network management functions and better defines the
details of the physical channel signalling. Version 2.0 is upward
compatible with Version 1.0. Equipment designed to the two specifications
is interoperable.
