Well at the moment FreeBSD only supports Ethernet_II. I do have patches
for 802.3 support, but that is using a single sysctl to switch between
E_II and 802.3 for the whole machine (all its interfaces). Support for
the different frames isn't too difficult. It is the mechanism to make
different interfaces use different frames in a nice way that I'm stuck
with. Ie. have ed0 use 802.3 and ed1 use E_II and ed3 use 802.2 or
even run two or more frames on the same interface.
