    Its been a while since i used bpq, but as far as i see it you need to use
    ifconfig as follows.

    ifconfig bpq0 IP# hw ax25 DG1CAD-12 up

    You also need to tell the interface via bpqparms which computer to listen for;

    bpqparms -d mac_of_remote_machine;
    bpqparms bpq0 -d 12:34:56:B9:xx

    It all used to work fine for me, some commands may have changed some check the
    man pages for bpqparms.
