Ah!, but that is basicly correct, but your configuration seems at fault here.

You do not have netrom compiled into your kernel, but if you have netrom as a
module you will need to add the following to your /etc/modules.conf file.
alias net-pf-6 netrom
alias nr0 netrom
after editing that file type 'depmod -a' then the rest should work.
However, it will up an interface for you but, i would advise;
nrattach -i 44.16.2.102 -m 236 netrom
Another ditch you may fall into is the mkiss problem with kernel 2.4.18,
check out the linux hams archive at;
hes.iki.fi
I think everyone will advise you to upgrade to 2.4.19 which has eliminated
that problem and AFAIK there are no fatal problems with 2.4.19.
I must compliment you on the information you gave, it makes solving your
problem so much easier than just saying it did not work which is the case
mostly.
have fun.
