You're not reading it correctly. :(
/* Handle ng_ether(4) processing, if any */
if (ng_ether_input_p != NULL) {
(*ng_ether_input_p)(ifp, &m, eh);
if (m == NULL)
return;
}
since it passes &m, you can set "*mp = NULL" in your handler if
you wish to take control of the packet, or leave it as is to
allow the normal course of action.
