Red Hat ships with both Ether II and 802.2 frame types enabled, which won't
work on our network. It does this by putting the following in your rc files
somewhere (in my setup, it's in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K97network):
/usr/bin/ipx_configure --auto_primary=on --auto_interface=on
I don't remember how I had originally set all of this up (since I don't use
Novell any more), but I have this line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it seems
to work fine:
/usr/bin/ipx_interface add -p eth0 EtherII
This will set the correct frame type. You might have to do a
"/usr/bin/ipx_interface delete" before that.
