Here is a patch to the IPX networking of Linux. When used as a module,
with kerneld, the IPX modules was not properly managing the usage count.
For example, most IPX client machine will go with the simple
/sbin/ipx_configure --auto_interface=ON --auto_primary=ON
in the /etc/rc.d/... scripts. Later on, you should be able to do
things like ncpmount, or slist,... and access your novell server. The
ipx_configure command will automaticly load the IPX driver (kerneld) but
won't register any usage count so the module will be removed a minute
later (around that).
The following patch introduce the following changes.
-Setting --auto_interface=on increment the counter. Setting it to OFF
decrement it.
-Setting one interface (ipx_interface add eth0 802.2 53) will increment
it also. Removing one interface will decrement it.
-The ioctl operation are protected by a pair of usage count++, usage
count--. I have left unchanged the usage count associate with
sockets.
Here is the patch delivered as an attachement.
