At line 365 or thereabouts in /sys/netipx/ipx_input.c is the following
line:

                printf("ipx_ctlinput: cmd %d.\n", cmd);           

Simply surround it with /* */ to comment it out, rebuild your kernel, and
it won't bother you any more.  Some host on your network is returning a
response to a IPX packet using type 15, which isn't defined.  I don't know
why your system even cares about IPX without the IPX routers installed,
but there are a lot of things I don't know about FreeBSD ;-)
