These patches are minimal to make IPX usable for applications.
One patch that not submited, change structure of sockaddr_ipx:
struct sockaddr_ipx {
u_char sipx_len;
u_char sipx_family;
struct ipx_addr sipx_addr;
- char sipx_zero[2];
+ u_char sipx_pt;
+ char sipx_zero;
};
New field sipx_pt should be filled in ipx_input() subroutine.
There is also ability to pass it to ipx_output(), but it can affect
existing applications. That helps to deal with IPX packet types without
involving SO_HEADERS_ON_INPUT. With that, there is no additional patches.
So if introducing sipx_pt is correct, I can send this patch to commit with
others.

Of course, I will release this code next week (if nothing serious
happens :). And if someone can review and test fs part of code (it should
have _enough_ bugs, especially for paged IO) that will be very
helpfull.
