    Hi all,

    I'm trying to play around with packet radio stuff, but as I have no real
    hardware yet I figured I'd use the BPQ device to send AX25 over ethernet.

    However, I'm having trouble getting it up and running. I'm doing the
    following:

    xxx:~# modprobe bpqether
    xxx:~# ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 DUMMY-01 up
    xxx:~# ifconfig -a
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:00:xx:xx:xx
              inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
              UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
              RX packets:14839 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:8240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
              collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
              Interrupt:57 Base address:0xf000

    bpq0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr DUMMY-01
              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
    xxx:~# cat /etc/ax25/axports
    # /etc/ax25/axports
    #
    1 DUMMY-01 10000000 256 2 BPQ/Linux ethernet
    xxx:~# axparms -route list
    axconfig: port 1 not active
    axparms: no AX.25 port data configured
    xxx:~#

    How do I make the port active??

    Thanks,

    Chris
