Hello,

Since kernel 2.1.111, I have been getting these errors when starting the
xfbbd daemon:

And also on attempting to initiate forwarding, I get this:

I noticed that some of the ax25 code appeared to have changed since
2.1.111 but have no idea what to do to rectify things.

The other ax25 utils, "call" etc, all give the same error too.

Anyone else seeing this, or anyone got any "fixit's" before I mail the
kernel boys.... ???

Thanks,
