A bug of this type was reported in the NetBSD 0.9 novell ether driver.

If you switch to NetBSD-current, it comes with a version of the ed
driver that has Novell ethernet support merged in.  We have not
received reports of packedt-duplication with this driver.

You may also be able to lift the NetBSD-current  version of the ed
driver, and try to integrate it into your NetBSD 0.9 sources.  We
really can't help you with any problems that you encounter down that path.

later,
Adam Glass
