* Remove IPX support.glebius2014-03-141-41/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011. Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

* Remove historical support for capturing IPX packets in the output pathrwatson2009-06-211-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | using raw IPX sockets. While functional, this support is disabled using a flag that can't be changed from userspace, and google reveals no documentation or use of that flag anywhere. This eliminates a potential lock order reversal and code reentrance issue in which the output path reentered the input path in IPX. An alternative to removal would be to use the netisr, as a comment I added in 2005 suggests. While this change is fairly straight-forward, the lack of any consumers or the easy possibility of consumers (kernel modification and recompile required) suggests that this is simply an unused feature. Update README to remove this TODO, and a TODO regarding IPX/IP encapsulation which was also removed a few years ago. MFC after: 1 week

Submitted by: Mike Mitchell, supervisor@alb.asctmd.com This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the related gunf that goes with it.. it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time but as we had several people trying to work on it I figured it would be better to get it checked in so they could all get teh same thing to work on.. Mikes been using it for a year or so but on 2.0 more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
