On 1.4.x, ether_input() is called from ex_intr() in sys/dev/ic/elinkxl.c
around line 1214. The ethernet header is stripped there.

On 1.5, it is called via (ifp->if_input)() from ex_intr(), and
it is initialized to ether_input() in ex_config() by calling
sys/net/if_ethersubr.c:ether_ifattach(). The ethernet header
is stripped in ether_input().
