It is not an error. It is warning.

It should use (AF_PACKET,SOCK_DGRAM) rather than (AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET).

Alan ax25-utils-2.1.42a/kiss/kissparms seems to suffer this problem as
well. I get this warning (everything is still working):
Dec 3 19:26:42 mm kernel: kissparms uses obsolete (AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
Also an ax25 static arp is failing to take again in 2.1.4x - 5x? or so.
No big deal but you ought to know.
