I can make a few changes to the source code of UQLX ( on my system) to edit out the *, and recompile. I will then retest with Dilwyn's test program. If you have a short test suite for your IP driver, I can test out the IP driver on the updated UQLX.

If you recompile you will need the normal Net driver
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/internet/NETdriver112.zip, rather than the one I posted earlier.
Usually the easiest test is to start two copies the the QL emulator on the same PC. Each running the network driver. Then on one enter NET_START 1 and on the other NET_START 2
On the net 1 station enter FSERVE, and on the net 2 station enter DIR n1_win1_ or whatever. If you get the directory, then you are pretty much working.
To test with 2 PC on the same network, with say IP Addresses of 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.7 Then start the QL emulator on the 192.168.0.5 PC with NET_START "192.168.0.5".
This QL will be Network station 5. and do likewise on the other PC, and that will be QL network station 7
Then on the net 5 station enter FSERVE, and on the net 7 station enter DIR n5_win1_
I don't know about Linux systems, but on my Windows 8/10 systems. I have to get the two PC's seeing each other before starting the QL network up. This usually involves starting, I think its called Network Discovery.
