Nice to hear someone else that is using Linux and ax25. I have had some
problems with using ax25 and the new kernel. When I built a new kernel
(RedHat Linux 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5-15) it seems as if there is some problem
to access the ax25 part. When starting the driver for the BayCom EPPFLEX
modem I get a error message and I cant see any ax0 device with ifconfig. Can
you give me some info on how you built your kernel (which options you
included) orsend me a copy/printout of your kernel configuration ??

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with your problem ...

Thank you,

/Anders Nilsson
