Been there done that ... on 3.x server. There is no kernel-unsupported
package for 4.0 and I looked at the .config file in the src.rpm and it's
not built. I don't need IPX support, just NCP over IP ... the only
downside is you have to specify the IP/DNS name for the server in the
ncpmount command.
I borrowed a script from the ntfs guys and modified it to build the
ncpfs module using the proper parameters. I've done some checking and
it builds versions for smp and non-smp kernels correctly.
I'm to the point I'm pretty satisfied with it and can post the build
script and the spec file in case anybody wants it.
