thanks for your reply
In 9.0 without making any changes to nwserv.conf one could enable ipx
with the command
rcnwe start

Sounds reasonable.

in later versions (with kernel 2.6) under identical conditions
rcnwe start
invokes an error
insmod -k ................ no such file
clearly the package is not there

According to the manpage, there is no '-k' option for insmod. The
modules is there, but cannot be loaded:

insmod ipx
insmod: can't read 'ipx': No such file or directory

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko
insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko': -1 Unknown symbol
in module

The symbols not found are make_8023_client and destroy_8023_client.

OK, the problem is that the script uses insmod instead of modprobe. The
ipx module also neds the p8023 module. Try editing the init-script and
do "modprobe ipx" instead of "insmod -k ipx".

And open a bugreport.
