    I am trying to upgrade a BBS-FPAC node system from 2.2.20 to 2.4.18
    kernel using four mkiss ports through ttyS0 and ttyS2.
    I am using the latest ax25 librairies, tools and apps collected from
    sourceforge.
    Everything works fine with 2.2.20 kernel but with 2.4.18 I only copy
    garbage from the TNC.
    Listen displays a lot of [invalid] lines and call 0 F5KCK (for example)
    doest not activated the TNC for transmission.
    I suspect mkiss for I can use the TNC normaly with minicom if I do not
    set up ax25 module.
    Can someone confirm that mkiss is not broken in 2.4.x kernel ?
    If not what should be different in mkiss installation with this new
    kernel ?

    73 de Bernard, F6BVP.
