That's interesting. I have no idea how TX underruns (an error condition
signaled by the Z8530 itself) could have anything to do with (de)queueing
of buffers. It may, however, trigger another problem. The kernel AX.25
does not recover from the retransmission state (i.e. when one or more
frames were lost) under a special condition. Jean-Paul has a fix for
this problem, I believe. (Check your transmitter for heat problems if
you can reproduce this behaviour, it only occurs when the other DXE
constantly cannot decode the last frame(s) of your transmission window).
