    After I upgraded my Linux to SuSE 8.0, which uses kernel version 2.4.18, I
    get this error message from pb in the system log:
    <date> <host> kernel: ax25_sendmsg(): pb uses obsolete socket sructure

    I have traced the source to the piece of program that sends fill requests
    to the satellite. The socket creation uses this call:
    s_directory = socket (PF_AX25, SOCKRAW, PID_DIRECTORY);
    bind (s_directory, (struct sockaddr *)&src, sizeof(src));
    where PID_DIRECTORY = 0xBD.
    and src is a struct sockaddr_ax25 with my call in it.

    The nice thing about this construct is that I only have to supply the info
    part of the AX.25 frame, the other fields (address, control, and PID) are
    nicely filled in when I use this call to send a buffer:
    sendto (s_directory, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&dest,
           sizeof(dest));
    Here dest is a struct simillar to src holding the call of the satellite.

    My problem is that I cannot find a replacement structure that does the same
    job as the one I use. I have tried using PF_PACKET instead of PF_AX25 but
    that gave a bind error.

    I have searched the linux-hams archive at hes.iki.fi but not found any help
    there.

    I would appreciate very much if anybody othe there could give me some advise.
