The best long term fix is to upgrade to 2.6.0 (or newer), as the 2.6.x
kernel has numerous bug fixes. No offense to 9a4gl but as far as I know
his patch does not fix everything that Ralf and Joeron (sp?) have been
working on.
The reason it is flakey under 2.4.x (for some people) is that some
basic or fundemental assumptions changed between 2.2.x and 2.4.x and
at the time no one made the necessary changes to AX.25 and the device
drivers. So some people will be bit by these bugs while others get
luckily and don't see them (faster, more complex setups, especially
gateways seem to be affected the most).
I believe that Debian 3.0 'testing' or 'unstable' both support the 2.6.x
kernel. (RedHat Linux 9 + module-init-util, or Fedora core 1 also support
2.6 AFAIK)
There is a 2.6.0 HOWTO at <http://www.kerneltrap.com/>
Hope that helps,
