Unless something has changed in the nrconfig library this change is not
necessary. Please read the manuals and the HISTORY file every time you
install a new version. There is a new parameter in node.conf that
should be set to the name of the netrom interface (as defined in
/etc/ax25/nrports) that is used for node in ax25d.conf.

See "man node.conf" and the sample files in ax25-utils-xxx/node/etc.
