Configuring the kernel for IPX and the NCP filesystem is simply a matter of
selecting the appropriate kernel options at kernel build time. As with many
other parts of the kernel, IPX and NCPFS kernel components can be built into
the kernel, or compiled as modules and loaded using the
insmod command when you need them.
The following options must be selected if you want to have Linux support and
route the IPX protocol:
General setup --->
[*] Networking support
Networking options --->
<*> The IPX protocol
Network device support --->
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
... and appropriate Ethernet device drivers |
If you want Linux to support the NCP filesystem so it can mount remote
NetWare volumes, you must additionally select these options:
Filesystems --->
[*] /proc filesystem support
<*> NCP filesystem support (to mount NetWare volumes) |
When you've compiled and installed your new kernel, you're ready to
run IPX.
