No. It is support for the IPX protocol that is included in the Linux
kernel source tree - not NCP. You can configure a Linux box to route
IPX packets but without additional software, such as mars-nwe, Linux
cannot speak NCP.

Also, don't confuse the ability to mount NetWare volumes as support
for NCP.

Finally, NCP is still the native protocol for all versions of NetWare,
including all versions beyond NW4.
