The following reply was made to PR kern/6397; it has been noted by GNATS.

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. # -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
