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.
