    Definately not. The whole AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE code is suffering from
    severe bitrot. None of the internal data structures are properly locked
    etc. I'm currently working on that.

    So you may find it easy to get old code into the current kerrnel - but
    then it'll suffer from the same problems. The fact is that the AX.25
    code is looking like it was written for a 2.0 or 2.2 kernel ...
