It seems that the Novell people at my site (apparently at the advice of Novell) have decreed that all IPX shall be encapsulated in Frame type 802.3. As near as I can tell (tcpdump, ethereal, etc.) PreeBSD generates everything in Ethernet II frames. Thus, the Novell servers can't see me at all. IP functionality is all there, this just affects IPX. I've been trying to dig through the code, but can't find where the frame type is specified. Is there someone out there with a clue they could send my way?
