[Ns-developers] ns-3, EthernetHeader endianness issue.

[Guillaume Vu-Brugier]

I noticed that the EthernetHeader::Serialize() method was storing the
'lengthType' field using the host byte order.
As a result, Wireshark was unable to properly decode pcap traces, for
example if you take "tutorial-linear-dumbell" as a base and modify ns-3 to
create pcap traces containing all ethernet headers (I had to modify
pcap-trace and csma-net-device to do that... is there an easier way ?)

The attached patch fixes this small issue.
