    It's nice that you provide these libs/apps, and also nice that you
    provide them compiled for sparc, but that doesn't help terribly since
    the sparc kernel (config) does not allow you to compile ax25.

    The attached patch (against the 2.2.13 kernel) makes those AX25 portions
    that are hardware independent (i.e. protocols (ax25, netrom, rose) and
    line disciplines (mkiss, 6pack)) selectable for compilation on sparc.

    ax25 and mkiss work fine on my SS2.
