Somehow this was addressed to me instead of the list.

Subject: Re: ax25-module-14h

I have discovered that on my system ax25-module-14f zaps the
drivers/char/baycom.c file making it a zero-length file. Is that
considered a problem? This occurs on 2.0.30 and 2.0.33 and is
probably why I can not get baycom to work. The baycom module and
the hdlcdrv module install but sethdlc insists on giving me:

sethdlc: Error Protocol not supported (93), cannot open bc0

And contrary to the docs setbaycom does not exist on this planet
that I can find. It is supposed to be on Sailer's web site but
it is not.
