Description garrettj 2000-05-22 18:09:04 UTC 
Ipx won't forward packets across two networks with different sized link
layer headers.  I am running two networks one Arcnet and one 100VG anylan
network.  Ipx will not forward as there is a bug in the code for it.
Please visit fa.linux.net and read Alexander S. Agranovsky
(atris.ru)'s note which contains a patch to fix the bug.
