Public bug reported:

[Impact]

rtl8821ce driver fails to build on focal with the latest linux hwe 5.15:

fatal error: net/ipx.h: No such file or directory
   25 | #include <net/ipx.h>
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

[Test case]

 $ sudo apt install rtl8821ce-dkms

[Fix]

Drop IPX support (deprecated in newer kernel). Same patch has been
applied in jammy (this fix is a backport of the same patch).

[Regression potential]

IPX is not supported anymore, so we may experience regressions for those
that are still using and relying on this protocol with the rtl8821ce
driver.

** Affects: rtl8821ce (Ubuntu)
