Yes it does. Thanks.
But a question arises: If my network card is stripping the FCS (and it
seems to do so), may I suppose that this is done for all packets?
On that particular adapter, yes.
You can't suppose that it's done on all adapters on all platforms,
however; in particular, on at least some adapters, the Mac OS X driver
*doesn't* make the adapter strip the FCS, and I think some drivers in
some BSDs don't strip it either.
You also can't assume that FCSes are always 4 bytes; in PPP, for
example, a packet might have no FCS, a 2-byte FCS, or a 4-byte FCS.
