Take a look at ifconfig(8), it has an option for specifying IPX network
addresses. Next, take a look at IPXrouted(8). Beware: the FreeBSD
networking code supports only ETHERNET_II frames. I've hacked
if_ethersubr.c to support ETHERNET_802.3 instead, it;s easy (you can
have the hacked version if you want). Supporting more than one frame
type for the IPX protocol is a no-no in FreeBSD. Hope it helps.
