configuration is done with a huge dialog letting
you select all the interfaces needed on your network at one time.
IPX
networking
A check box lets you turn on IPX
networking.
This check box lets you do this without loosing the
configuration you have previously entered.
If you activate the IPX
networking, Linuxconf will
search for the IPX
network support in the kernel. If not
available, it will try to load the IPX
kernel module.
Most Linux workstation will need to have the
Autoconfigure primary
and Autoconfigure interfaces
frame types
radio buttons toggled.
The dialog offers you several sections for each Ethernet adaptor,
allowing you to configure each possible IPX
interface based
on the available packet types. Each sub-section has a check box
letting you turn on and off this interface. A radio button lets you
select if this interface is the primary one. "Checking"
this
radio button deselects all related radio button including the
autoconfigure primary
one.
A field also lets you enter the network address which is an hexadecimal number. A value of 0 mean to autoconfigure it based on packets seen on the wire.
