Happy new year to all linux-hams...

I,m running kernel ax25 with the latest 2.0.27 and module7 patches.
It works fine for me but sometimes netrom quality readings for some
nodes goes wrong.. Here's some examples:

OLARI:OH2RBJ-2} Routes:
Link Port Callsign Quality Destinations Lock
> 4 OH2RDL-8 240 24 !
3 OH2RDX-9 240 0 !
> 6 OH2RBI-1 240 10 !
2 OH2RBT-1 1 0 !
4 OH1RBI-9 1 0 !
4 OH1RBI-4 1 0 !
> 5 OH2BAR-2 200 9 !
2 OH2RDL-2 192 25
> 1 OH2NJR-2 180 2
1 OH2NJR-10 180 1
1 OH2NZV-2 10 5 <----- this should be 180 !!!
2 OH2BAW-2 192 7

The same happes with oh2rbi also :

OTANI:OH2RBI-1} Routes:
Link Port Callsign Quality Destinations Lock
> 2 OH2BAR-2 192 40
6 OH2RBI-0 255 1 !
> 5 OH2RBH-3 100 32 <----- should be 240
4 OH2BAW-2 100 11 <----- should be 240
> 3 OH2RDU-9 100 11 <----- should be 240
1 OH2RDX-2 192 2
> 4 OH2RBJ-2 100 31 <----- should be 240

And all configs are ok ( I suppose :-) This happens somehow after
booting up computer and those links become active before netromd
receives node broadcasts from those stations. And worse.. those qualitys
stays low all the time ( netromd wont update them ?? ).
And after having wrong quality routing woes:

OTANI:OH2RBI-1} Routes to: OLARI:OH2RBJ-2
Which Quality Obsolescence Port Neighbour
> 150 6 2 OH2BAR-2
100 6 4 OH2RBJ-2
75 6 4 OH2BAW-2

I have seen this some times when using module5 patchkit but it's now
seen more often :-(
