ipx - IPX Streams Multiplexor Driver

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. 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.

NOTES
     The DLPI network daemon (snetd) must be properly configured for the
     network interface to work properly.
