    Hi Tomi,

    > Have you done "ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 G7III-14" ?

    Yup:

    odyssey:~# ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 G7III-14 up
    odyssey:~# ifconfig bpq0
    bpq0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr G7III-14
              UP RUNNING MTU:256 Metric:1
              RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
              collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

    odyssey:~# axparms -route add bpq0 G7III-15
    axconfig: port bpq0 not active
    axparms: no AX.25 port data configured

    I did a little more digging, and the last 15 lines of a strace show:

    open("/etc/ax25/axports", O_RDONLY) = 4
    socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 5
    fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=248, ...}) = 0
    mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x50019000
    read(4, "# /etc/ax25/axports\n#\n# The form"..., 4096) = 248
    ioctl(5, SIOCGIFCONF, 0xefffe6c0) = 0
    ioctl(5, SIOCGIFFLAGS, 0xefffe6a0) = 0
    ioctl(5, SIOCGIFHWADDR, 0xefffe6a0) = 0
    write(2, "axconfig: port bpq0 not active\n", 31) = 31
    read(4, "", 4096) = 0
    close(4) = 0
    munmap(0x50019000, 8192) = 0
    close(5) = 0
    write(2, "axparms: no AX.25 port data conf"..., 39) = 39
    exit(1) = ?

    Which indicate to me (a) it is finding /etc/ax25/axports and opening it
    successfully, and then trying to do an ioctl (presumably on bpq0), and
    not liking the response from the final ioctl. Any ideas ?

    All the Best

    Iain
