I believe what you read in Wikipedia may be out of date. Someone correct me
if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that IPX was dropped from FreeBSD and is
no longer supported. The code went unmaintained for too long and succumbed
to bit rot, so eventually it was pulled.
What I am unclear about is exactly when this happened. It wasn't all that
long ago.
