    I might like to use IPX at some point, but right now I don't think
    it's implicated, since when I tried to stop the multicast packets by
    rebuilding the kernel without multicast support, I also turned off IPX
    (as well as APM, which Alan Cox pointed a finger at). I still saw
    some ethertype 8808 packets going out. But, I haven't verified that
    they were identical to the ones that toast the Cisco. For obvious
    reasons, we did it on an isolated test net consisting of my machine,
    the server & the sniffer.
