Description Jim Dunlop 2000-05-02 19:31:58 UTC

The error I get is as follows

  ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument

It happens no matter what argument is given to it.

Thanks

Jim Dunlop (Team Linux)

I have the same problem.  Something has to do with ipx module not auto-load?
After I 'insmod ipx', ipx_configure works fine, but I would need to load the 
module manually everytime the system reboot.

Comment 2 kwca4800 2000-07-20 16:45:39 UTC

is there anyone working on it? what should i do to get the ipx module auto-load 
before the ipx_configure?

Try adding "alias net-pf-4 ipx" to your /etc/conf.modules file.
