I think distribution kernels tend to have quite a lot of patches already
applied. For example the default kernel on RH7.2 has over 200 patches
totalling about million lines... So you should expect problems with
patches that are intended for official kernels.
By the way, I just installed RH7.3 to one box and it seems it has all the
recent AX.25 patches included. Also the default build has the ax25, netrom
and rose modules. Unfortunately they didn't include most of the ax25
device drivers like mkiss, scc, etc. Soundmodem is there so if one is
building a packet radio box and is going to use soundmodem, you don't
need to recompile the kernel.
Just in case somene is doing just that...
