Hi Gareth and others on the list.
I have similar problems using the ax25 utils with kernel 2.4.x... and I
have been told that a patch is needed , or a fix of some sort that will
allow our trusty ax25 utils to be used with the 2.4 series kernels.
So - a fix apparently is needed and we are all waiting for it..
