hmmm, I think we are getting closer to the problem, run etherreal on
this segment?, or tcpdump, try setting your MTU to a smaller value (512)
or less, see if this stop's the fragmentation, but 1500 mtu on ethernet
or wireless ethernet should be fine and dandy really, I bet there is
something fishy going on with the wireless driver, perhaps it's
churinging/managaling packets, and the machine is misinterpting that as
a smaller mtu on that segment? weird. I can't really fix this problem
without doing 'my thing' with my tools, but..I'll try..

hmm.. or you could look at it like this..

Back again with the renegade master
D-4 Damager, Power to the people,
Back again, with the ill behavior

yeah, your network has some of this ill behaviour that wildchild spoke
about... but he's dead.. so he can't helpup with your fragmentation..

send some netstat -r -n , whats you mtu???

on a ethernet lan, with one segment, and no routers and default mtu of
1500 , you should never see layer 3 fragmentation of packets at any
time, so.... dig deeper my friend., check that your wireless segment
maxium packet size is correct (at your access point/ wireless card?)....

it could be a drivers problem..need more info..

interesting problem, aint mtu's fun...

why is snort running?? on a workstation??? bizzare-o-matic?

Laters,
