 Don't Do That, Then.
 
 First of all, Xerox NS doesn't work properly in FreeBSD anyway;
 second, IIRC, IPX is derived directly from Xerox NS, which is why they
 use the same ethertype.
 
 Cut'n'paste from /sys/i386/conf/LINT:
 
 #
 # Protocol families:
 #  Only the INET (Internet) family is officially supported in FreeBSD.
 #  Source code for the NS (Xerox Network Service) is provided for amusement
 #  value.
