Thats looks fine. Contrary to what other have said, ax25-utils-2.1.22b is
correct for Linux 2.0.x with ax25-module-12.

When you built the kernel did you include the kernel MKISS driver ? It is
to be found in the section that starts "Radio Network Interfaces" which
you have to say Y to. You do not need SLIP for AX.25 when using the
ax25-module series. Kissattach is the correct command.
If you built your kernel with the MKISS driver as a module then you need
to do "insmod mkiss" before you can use it.
The mkiss program in the ax25-utils is meant for handling TNCs that have
more than one port ala KPC-4. When just using a standard TNC you don't
need the mkiss program, but in both cases you need the MKISS device
driver in the kernel.
