Can someone please explain to me the difference in the OSI Model between the 802.3 and 802.11 protocols?
As far as I understand they differ only in the MAC and PHY Layer. Is this accurate?
Are the remaining layers identical?

Yes, the IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.11 are standards that address the MAC and PHY layers. Anything above those layers remain agnostic from them (MAC & PHY layers).
