Hi,all: I read from wikipedia that freebsd supports ipx. But when I tried to set ipx address on em0,it showed the following message:
freebsd-yc# ifconfig em0 ipx (netnum.nodenum) ifconfig: socket(family 23,SOCK_DGRAM: Protocol not supported And as I furher trussed the ifconfig process, I found this was probably caused by the failure of the socket syscall: freebsd-yc# truss ifconfig em0 ipx netnum.nodenum ...... socket(PF_IPX,SOCK_DGRAM,0) ERR#43 'Protocol not supported' ...... In contrast however, when calling "socket(PF_IPX,SOCK_DGRAM,0)" on Linux, it will automatically load the ipx kernel module and the socket syscall returns successfully. But I don't find any ipx module in /boot/kernel/ on freebsd. So I wonder how does freebsd supports ipx? Is there any other work I should do for this purpose? And if this isn't the most appropriate list for this question, please let me know.
