Bob,
I've seen a couple of these lately. I'm starting to feel that it is a
kernel bug, or that the net-tools are somehow trailing behind the
kernel development. I'll have a chance to follow this up in some detail
this weekend when I bring my own test configuration up to 2.1.42 and
the ax25-utils to to it as well.
> mm:/usr/src/net-tools-1.33# arp -H ax25 -i ax0 -s 44.10.0.169 WD6DOD-3
> SIOCSARP and OLD_SIOCSARP: Invalid argument
> No ARP Support or route to destination points to other interface. See
> arp(8)
Could I get you to try:
# ifconfig ax0 arp
# arp -H ax25 -i ax0 -s 44.10.0.169 WD6DOD-3
ie, manually enable arp on the interface,
and if that doesn't work, then try:
# strace arp -H ax25 -i ax0 -s 44.10.0.169 WD6DOD-3
and to post arp.strace to the list please ? This will give us
some idea of what is happening internally.
Syntactically it looks correct enough.
regards
Terry
