2.4.3 fails to link when IPX compiled in

Hi,
When compiling linux-2.4.3 with IPX built in one gets:
ld -m elf_i386 -T /mdk/src/linux-2.4.3/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o

net/network.o(.data+0x2ee4): undefined reference to `sysctl_ipx_pprop_broadcasting'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The patchlet below seems to solve it.
