Extra bytes in packets

Hi!
I'm experiencing an anomaly on a certain linux machine. When I run
ethereal, it picks up packets fine but there is a string of extra bytes
at teh end of all packets except those sent by the host. It's a redhat 7
machine, I suspected the cersion of ethereal, so I upgraded the cersion
0.9.3 with the same results. Has anyone run into this problem? If so, I'd
appreciate advise.
Thanks in advance,
Allan

What kind of extra string of bytes is it? Is it a repeating pattern, or
not? Does the value of the string appear based on the contents of the
packet itself? Can you post a sample?
