ipx - IPX Streams Multiplexor Driver
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME ipx - IPX Streams Multiplexor Driver DESCRIPTION ipx is the STREAMS muliplexor driver providing the IPX protocol stack. Before being used, this driver should be linked on top of the DLPI driver llc2 using the ipxlink program. This normally happens during system startup when the /etc/init.d/netwr_client script is run. The driver supports a maximum of four physical network interfaces (/dev/lnkipx[0- 3]). Applications use the clone device /dev/ipx for IPX communication. IEEE 802.2, NetWare 802.3 and Ethernet II frame types are supported. SEE ALSO dlpi(7), ipxlink(1), ml(1M), snetd(1M) NOTES The DLPI network daemon (snetd) must be properly configured for the network interface to work properly.
