I know that both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 specify CSMA/CD as the MAC
layer, but a guy in here said that Ethernet will not interwork with an
implementation of 802.3. In other word, Ethernet is not conforming to
the 802.3 standards. I suspicious that he is wrong, but can the Ethernet
and 802.3 experts out there educate me on this subject?  Thanks.

Steve.
