After some checking, a shell hacker was a little whacky with mixing eval/shell vars/program args. He uses "802_3" as the argument to ipx_interface, but it should be "802.3" (for example, same true for other itfs). I checked the latest initscripts on rufus, and same bug. Here's the fixed file, ifup-ipx: #!/bin/bash # configures IPX on $1 if appropriate PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "usage: $0 <net-device>" exit 1 fi if [ ! -x /usr/bin/ipx_interface ] ; then # cannot configure IPX with non-existant utilities exit 0 fi . /etc/sysconfig/network case $IPX in yes|true) ;; *) exit 0 ;; esac cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts . network-functions CONFIG=$1 [ -f "$CONFIG" ] || CONFIG=ifcfg-$CONFIG source_config for frametype in 802_2 802_3 ETHERII SNAP ; do # Yes, this kind of evaluation is really necessary to do this. # Welcome to shell programming... No, we were not smoking some # particularly good floppies while we wrote this. :-) case $(eval echo $(echo \$`echo IPXACTIVE_$frametype`)) in yes|true) case $(eval echo $(echo \$`echo IPXPRIMARY_$frametype`)) in yes|true) primary=-p ;; *) primary= ;; esac # bozos... --bko case $frametype in 802_2 ) real_frametype=802.2 ;; 802_3 ) real_frametype=802.3 ;; ETHERII ) real_frametype=EtherII ;; * ) real_frametype=$frametype ;; esac /usr/bin/ipx_interface add $1 $primary $real_frametype \ $(eval echo $(echo \$`echo IPXNETNUM_$frametype`)) ;; esac done exit 0
