For an Ethernet segment the sending adapter attaches preamble, CRC and postamble and an accepting receiving adapter removes them.
An Ethernet adapter receives all frames. The adapter only accepts and passes to its host:
Unicast mode - Frame with its destination address.
Broadcast mode - Frame with broadcast destination address consisting of all 1s or (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
Multicast mode - Frame with multicast address (first bit 1) it has been programmed to accept.
Promiscuous mode - adapter programmed to pass all frames to host.
