This page covers whats included on the standard Workstation Shell disk and what you can get by combining the various DOSUP update files.
This is the disk that came with my copy of NetWare 3.11. It contains version 3.02 of NETX as well as support for using ODI drivers as well as older packet drivers.
Contents of disk labeled:

These look to all be related to packet drivers and IPX.COM. In particular, WSGEN and LINK are for combining IPX.COM with the Packet Driver. The .LAN files provide configuration information for packet drivers to WSGEN. ECONFIG is for setting some parameters (like frame type) on IPX.COM.
If you're using Packet drivers (you probably should) then all required files are available from one of the DOSUP files: LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM and NETX itself.
I'm not a netware expert, don't have any of those fancy novell certifications and have never administred a netware network; I've just played with it at home occasionally since 2004 or so.
