IPX networking

IPX networking

[Sergey Suleymanov]

        These are my IPX nets: 

solt:~# cat /proc/net/ipx_interface 
Network    Node_Address   Primary  Device     Frame_Type
00000111   000000000001   Yes      Internal   None
00000777   00A0D216FF6B   No       eth1       802.3
00000555   00C026A1AA2A   No       eth2       802.3
00000666   00104B386E81   No       eth0       802.3
00000999   00A0D216FF6B   No       eth1       EtherII
solt:~# cat /proc/net/ipx_route 
Network    Router_Net   Router_Node
00000333   00000777     00C095E809B5
00000999   Directly     Connected
00000666   Directly     Connected
00000555   Directly     Connected
00000777   Directly     Connected
00000111   Directly     Connected

        When I run dosemu without root privs, it says: (here 333 is
        internal net of the native NetWare server)

ERROR: IPX: Failure adding route <00000333 through 00000111:000000000001>

        Is this ok? Why not <00000777:00C095E809B5>?

Doesn't look healthy to me.
Does this patch help?
Patch is completely untested, but it compiles:)
