Standard Ethernet is the DIX Ethernet I/II encapsulation.  IEEE is
the 802.3 encapsulation.  The difference is whether the field following
the source address is the protocol type (standard) or the length (ieee).

Everything that you are likely to have, unless you are using HP equipment
is probably Ethernet I.  Actually on receive, the software ought to be
able to tell.
