    That's too bad.

    It was removed altogether from the kernel a while back because the code
    that was there did not work and was so broken it was not likely to ever
    work. I think the general consensus was the protocol sucked so hard that
    it was not worth supporting.

    This seems a shame as Linux supports a lot of other things that suck but
    there you go.
