 Indeed.  If I try a fresh build of 5.4-RC3 with "union ipx_net"
 defined without "u_int u_net", both "IPXrouted" and
 "netstat -rnf ipx" work as expected.  No additional "packed"
 attributes are required.  Does the change to "src/sys/netipx/ipx.h"
 need to be reverted (again)?  I don't use the mars_nwe port so don't
 know the ramifications there.
 
 Thanks for the hint!

 The following patch against 5.4-RC3 "works for me":
