ethernet interface, ethernet adapter or bluetooth adapter?
I am running Linux Mint 17.3 and I am a little bit confused with some network terminology.
The output of the ifcongif is as follows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet ...
and the output from tcpdump --list-interfaces is:
1.bluetooth0 (Bluetooth adapter number 0)
So actually it appears that the eth0-interface is using the bluetooth-technology to contact with the modem. or?
As far as I know the bluetooth-technology has been used for wireless connections but not for wired ones and the ethernet-technology has been used for cable (wired) connections.
Does my network card is using both technologies simultaneously?

according to wikipedia ethernet is this:
Ethernet divide a stream of data into shorter pieces called frames.
Each frame contains source and destination addresses, and
error-checking data so that damaged frames can be detected and
discarded; most often, higher-layer protocols trigger retransmission
of lost frames. As per the OSI model, Ethernet provides services up to
and including the data link layer.[4] Features such as the 48-bit MAC
address and Ethernet frame format have influenced other networking
protocols including Wi-Fi wireless networking technology
So the Ethernet protocol/frame part of any network communication. It doesn't matter if it is wired or wireless.
