They're used interchangeably in much of the code, and with
netinet/if_ether.h appearing in some surprising kernel files (such as
os/space.c).

There are about 92 references to if_ether.h and 100 to ethernet.h.  It
looks like sys/ethernet.h is slightly more popular in the kernel, but
there are adherents to both religions.
