DS21142/43 network card

[Sven Eichner]

Hi Roman,

i think the problem that you have is that you donīt have specific the
primary interface like this command
                                        Frame Net
--------------------------------------------
ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 AEB49001

Should you didnīt spefic the Net Adress you must ipx_configure
auto_interface enabled. See IPX-Howto.

Why do you use ethernet_II for netware ? Normaly netware 4.1x use 802.2 and
netware 3.1x use 802.3. Check on the novell with the config command with
protocol frame you use. And to handle the SAP you should use IPXD or marsnwe
( not good only you want to emulate a nwserver) or other IPX Daemon than
slist will be work. I use the tulip driver with IPX as a router between to
novell servers. And it works fine.

Regards,
Sven
