It's really only the LLC/SNAP one.  Null doesn't work for IP because
you can't send InARP packets over the same VC then...  don't know why
it even appears as an option.

Another possibility would be to send IP packets in ethernet format
over an Ethernet bridged encapsulation.  That will show up if
you're doing bridging.  Apart from that, I wouldn't expect it; the
LLC format is the main one.
