[PATCH net-next 1/2] ipx: move Novell IPX protocol support into staging

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Netware IPX protocol is very old and no one should still be using
it. It is time to move it into staging for a while and eventually
decommision it.

Note: net/ipx.h has to be kept around because bonding is still
using it to decode IPX header for LAG.
