It's coming from the IPX drivers in the kernel, in net/ipx/af_ipx.c's
ipxitf_rcv function. I don't know anything about the underlying IPX
protocol. However, I believe EtherII and 802.2 are different
protocols for encasulating the data across an Ethernet. (Actually,
802.2 covers token ring, FDDI, etc. as well).
I get the impression from the code that you're getting different link
layer protocols on the same interface, which isn't a problem, but
they've got the same network number, which is. You need someone who
knows IPX who's got a packet analyser, and isn't afraid to use it.
