Hi! Why does kerneld load the IPX module while the localhost's loopback interface is being set up? (ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1) I see no need to it... stracing ifconfig shows that it makes an IPX call (and also an AX.25 and some other calls). This didn't happened with and old Slackware based installation, and, altough harmless (the module gets cleanly unloaded) annoys me a bit. Any ideas? Bye & Good Luck! Pablo B.
