NCP without IPX?

Hello guys,

I noticed in 129/130 kernels the code to configure NCP in fs/Config.in
looks like this now:

if [ "$CONFIG_IPX" != "n" -o "$CONFIG_INET" != "n" ]; then
tristate 'NCP filesystem support (to mount NetWare volumes)' CONFIG_NCP_FS
if [ "$CONFIG_NCP_FS" != "n" ]; then
source fs/ncpfs/Config.in
fi
fi

i.e. one can have no IPX support and still enable NCP only because INET
support is always there (unless one is feeling too adventurous). I thought
that NCP runs over IPX so this must be a bug and should be reverted to:

if [ "$CONFIG_IPX" != "n" ]; then
tristate 'NCP filesystem support (to mount NetWare volumes)' CONFIG_NCP_FS
if [ "$CONFIG_NCP_FS" != "n" ]; then
source fs/ncpfs/Config.in
fi
fi

Regards,
Tigran
