    It's very strange because it is the kernel complaining about it, not
    listen or rxecho.

    The message is coming from core/dev.c in the function
    dev_queue_xmit_nit()

    I think it is failing on this:
    skb2->nh.raw < skb2->data || skb2->nh.raw >= skb2->tail

    dpkg -l ax25-apps (or whatever you are looknig for) will tell you the
    version.

    BTW, you really should upgrade that kernel version, there is some
    security hole in 2.2.17 IIRC
