good.

apparently STP was not disabled on at least one switch, that's why you see it in the capture file ;-)

Regarding ADwin: You cannot explain why a system sends packets of a certain protocol to the network, by looking at the capture files with Wireshark. You can only analyze the content of those frames. If you want to know why, you must check the configuration of the involved systems.
