thanks for your reply In 9.0 without making any changes to nwserv.conf one could enable ipx with the command rcnwe start
Sounds reasonable.
in later versions (with kernel 2.6) under identical conditions rcnwe start invokes an error insmod -k ................ no such file clearly the package is not there
According to the manpage, there is no '-k' option for insmod. The modules is there, but cannot be loaded: insmod ipx insmod: can't read 'ipx': No such file or directory insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module The symbols not found are make_8023_client and destroy_8023_client. OK, the problem is that the script uses insmod instead of modprobe. The ipx module also neds the p8023 module. Try editing the init-script and do "modprobe ipx" instead of "insmod -k ipx".
