This of course has nothing to do with the kernel implementation of AX.25,
it's a LinuxNode "problem".
LinuxNode only inverts the callsign if the user is coming in via a L2
connection and going out again on a L2 connection and on the _same_port_.
In all other cases users callsign-ssid is left untouched. When I coded
this I tried to think of all the possible cases and only saw inverting
necessary in that one particular case.
Do you have a case where this leads to actual problems so we can see if
something needs to be fixed?
