Two ax25 driver-level problems -- help?

    I just moved our ax.25 server machine to a new motherboard and am now
    having a couple of problems I didn't see before. I wonder if anyone
    has any ideas?

    The first problem relates to a pty pair that I'm using to link digi_ned
    to the socket version of aprsd. I do a kissattach to /dev/ptyqe and
    then another to /dev/ttyqe. The two programs start up normally and
    seem to work OK.

    However, I get a stream of messages to the console saying "ax1:
    transmit timed out, driver problem?". I also get the same message for
    ax2. ax1 is the master side of the pty. Another data point is that if
    I "ifconfig ax1 down" and then bring it back up, the error messages
    seem to stop. Any ideas what's causing this?

    The second problem relates to the dmascc driver which is running an
    Ottawa PI card. In ifconfig's output I'm seeing a lot of RX frame
    errors -- about 1/3 of the total number of RX packets shown. What does
    the "frame" error signify? Could it be a sign of either TXD or TXtail
    being too short on one of the stations being heard, such that the flags
    are being cut off? I didn't notice this error with the old
    motherboard, but that may just be a coincidence.

    Thanks for any insight on these issues.

    73, and happy new year!
