You are quite right. Linux 2.0.30 didn't actually break anything with
ax25-module-12, but did stop it from patching cleanly. For someone with a
bit of C experience it isn't too difficult to recover the situation, in
fact I would go so far as to say that you can probably use ax25-module-12
with 2.0.30 and ignore the patching errors, but YMMV.

But fear not, ax25-module-13 is on its way. I hope very soon to announce
its general availablity. You will find a file named ax25-module-13 on my
FTP site, but it is *not* officially available yet, so if you try and
use it, you are on your own. There will be a new ax25-utils to match it.

The official announcement of its availablity will be made to this list of
course.

BTW any Linux users in Belgium on this list ? I am due to move to Belgium
in late June so I'd like to meet up with you. Drop me an email. I will be
based in Brussels.
