>Description:

Using these options in the kernel config file:
options        IPX                     # IPX/SPX communications protocols
options         NS                     # Xerox NS protocols

Will cause trouble in the switch/case in 'sys/net/if_ethersubr.c'
#ifdef IPX
     case ETHERTYPE_IPX:
#ifdef NS
     case 0x8137: /* Novell Ethernet_II Ethernet TYPE II */
(shortened look at the real files for full details)

sys/netipx/ipx_if.h:
  #define    ETHERTYPE_IPX           0x8137 

>How-To-Repeat:

Put above options in kernel config and compile.

>Fix:
	
Don't put them there, or create som kind of "shared" protocoll stuff, haven't 
tried that option however :-)
