kernel config is like GENERIC bit with commented out SCSI, firewire, USB,
network cards and this options:

options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         IPDIVERT
options         BRIDGE
# ipx support
options         IPX
device          ef
options         ETHER_II


>Description:

	IPX support work fine on 4-STABLE, but with 5-BETA7 and 5.3-RELEASE
        I can't force it to work. tcpdump shows strange IPX network in
        outgoing packets.

        # tcpdump -p -i xl0 -n -e ipx 
        correct packet (net 0x123) comes from Novell Netware server:

10:30:07.740774 00:60:08:96:c0:46 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype IPX
(0x8137), length 494: (NOV-ETHII) 00000123.00:60:08:96:c0:46.0452 >
00000123.ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.0452:ipx-sap-resp[|ipx 448]

        # tcpdump -p -i xl0 -n -e ipx and ether host 00:01:02:fb:33:e2
        outgoing packet from out machine:

10:30:57.458631 00:01:02:fb:33:e2 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype IPX
(0x8137), length 58: (NOV-ETHII) 04530000.01:23:00:01:02:fb.33e2 >
00000000.01:23:ff:ff:ff:ff.ffff: ipx-#ffff 14

        IPX network on interface is configured as 0x123, but tcpdump shows
        0x4530000 and node number not same as MAC address. seems like net
        number shifted to right by 2 bytes:
           04530000.01:23:00:01:02:fb - incorrect
           00000123.00:01:02:fb:33:e2 - correct

        the same behavior is with xl0, fxp0 and with device ef's xl0f0,
        fxp0f0
        
>How-To-Repeat:

        compile kernel with IPX support:

        options         IPX

        #ifconfig <iface> ipx 0x123

        #tcpdump -p -i <face> -n -e ipx and ether host <iface mac>

        address in outgoing packets must be 00000123.<iface mac>

>Fix:

	unknown
