    That looks like the redhat bug that stops default kernels from using ax25.
    You can change it to "y" if you use "make xconfig" or edit by hand.

    I've found the 2.4.18 kernel has unstable (buggy) ax25 and it would rarely run
    for more than a day without crashing. This is on Redhat 7.2. I haven't had
    that problem since compiling and installing 2.2.17-21mdk kernel over two
    weeks ago (and before trying 2.4 kernels).
