Remove them from the /proc/sys/net documentation.

IPX 405 - ------ 406 - 407 - The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net. 408 - 409 - The IPX protocol does, however, provide proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX 410 - socket giving the local and remote addresses in Novell format (that is 411 - network:node:port). In accordance with the strange Novell tradition, 412 - everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that 413 - are not tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate 414 - the number of bytes pending for transmission and reception. The state 415 - indicates the state the socket is in and the uid is the owning uid of the 416 - socket. 417 - 418 - The /proc/net/ipx_interface file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface 419 - it gives the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is 420 - the primary network. It also indicates which device it is bound to (or 421 - Internal for internal networks) and the Frame Type if appropriate. Linux 422 - supports 802.3, 802.2, 802.2 SNAP and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for 423 - IPX. 424 - 425 - The /proc/net/ipx_route table holds a list of IPX routes. For each route it 426 - gives the destination network, the router node (or Directly) and the network 427 - address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks. 428 - 429 - 6. TIPC 404 + 5.
