Hi
No, when you download a kernel from RedHat, it is a compiled binary, and it
has their patches added in to the kernel.
It would not use anything in your current kernel source tree.
If you want ax25 you would want to download the latest kernel source from
kernel.org and compile it yourself.
If you kept your old .config file, you can probably copy it into the new
kernel source tree (assuming its from the same main branch, i.e. 2.4.x, not
2.2.x) and those options.
But you may run into a few bumps with newer options introduced in new kernels.
