Not a bad idea..
But really this should be separate module(s) for each protocol type.
E.g.:
+-----------+
| ng_iface |
+-----------+
/ | \
IPX / | IP \ AppleTalk
... _____/ | \_________________ ...
|
+----------------+
| ng_ip_ethernet |
+--------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+
| ng_ipx_ether | | ARP | IP | ng_atalk_ether |
+--------------+ | | + (EtherTalk) |
| | | +----------------+
ARP (0x0800) | | IP (0x0800) |
| |
IPX (0x8137) +---------------+ AppleTalk (0x809B)
... ---------| ng_ether_mux |--------------- ...
+---------------+
|
|
+-----------+
| ng_ether |
+-----------+
