The documentation is a bit misleading in this regard (basicly because
I just fix obvious errors and bigger changes in the driver). You don't
have to reboot if the driver was built as a module (which in fact was
when you're running the kernel that comes with SuSE Linux):
- run "ifconfig down" on all active SCC devices
- "rmmod scc"
- "modprobe scc"
- adjust z8530drv.conf (I don't remember right now if it was
/etc/z8530drv.conf or /etc/ax25/z8530drv.conf in your case)
- "modprobe scc"
- "sccinit"
Granted, this looks a bit complicated, on the other hand neither
the addresses of the Z8530 chips nor the MODEM wiring can
change without a power cycle -- allowing to change this on the
fly isn't worth the hassle to implement with the current configuration
scheme. I'm working on a new scheme that uses procfs to get rid of
sccinit altogether, maybe I can get dynamic MODEM configuration
into that more cleanly.

That's supposed to be /etc/rc.d/rc.ax25 and you have to write it
yourself due to the great variety of possible configurations.
You may want to take a look at
http://www.1409.org/projects/ax25-config.html
for a tool that at least can generate the general frame work for
such a script.
