From 871480933a1c28f8a9fed4c4d34d06c439a7a422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srikant Patnaik Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2015 12:28:04 +0530 Subject: Moved, renamed, and deleted files The original directory structure was scattered and unorganized. Changes are basically to make it look like kernel structure. --- net/ipx/Kconfig | 60 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 60 insertions(+) create mode 100644 net/ipx/Kconfig (limited to 'net/ipx/Kconfig') diff --git a/net/ipx/Kconfig b/net/ipx/Kconfig new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e9ad0062 --- /dev/null +++ b/net/ipx/Kconfig @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ +# +# IPX configuration +# +config IPX + tristate "The IPX protocol" + select LLC + ---help--- + This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly + used for local networks of Windows machines.

Sometimes it is + useful to give an IPX "network" address to your Linux box as well + (for example if your box is acting as a file server for different + IPX networks: it will then be accessible from everywhere using the + same address). The way this is done is to create a virtual internal + "network" inside your box and to assign an IPX address to this + network. Say Y here if you want to do this; read the IPX-HOWTO at + for details. + + The full internal IPX network enables you to allocate sockets on + different virtual nodes of the internal network. This is done by + evaluating the field sipx_node of the socket address given to the + bind call. So applications should always initialize the node field + to 0 when binding a socket on the primary network. In this case the + socket is assigned the default node that has been given to the + kernel when the internal network was created. By enabling the full + internal IPX network the cross-forwarding of packets targeted at + 'special' sockets to sockets listening on the primary network is + disabled. This might break existing applications, especially RIP/SAP + daemons.
