I made some more progress with the fix but I'm not fully sure how it works. I checked the freebsd source code to figure out how it works. Compared to the linux source the code was very complicated as in linux there's a special ipx setsockopt option and so on. [...] Perhaps you can try to build a fix as I don't have access to any FreeBSD box and can't test the patch. Note that in the function ws2_send we don't need to retrieve the ipx packet type as that won't be needed for freebsd as the linux/freebsd ipx sockaddr structure is different.
The problem is, I don't know anything about IPX in general nor IPX on Windows or FreeBSD :-(, else I really would have tried to fix this.
(This is why I tried to describe the FreeBSD situation as far as I could find out from an installation in my original message.)
If you could provide a prototype path, I'd be most happy to give it a try and will also try to tweak it as good as I can, if needed.
