Hello Hibby,
There are still a lot of us using the LInux AX.25/NETROM/ROSE code in
Trixie and I am actively trying to custom build new 7.1.x kernels with
merging in the mod-orphan tree on Debian SID but I'm having some difficulty:
--
$ time make -j$(nproc) LOCALVERSION=-custom-sid

Anyway, if your -dmks approach will help keep things going until Trixie
EOLs, please try that.

Hey there,
This is unsurprising to me - the the ax25 kernel code it is choking on was
removed here:

I think it's time we either drop ax25-tools, ax25-apps and the wider family of
applications that rely on the kernel code due to a lack of maintenance across
all the code or add this code back as as -dkms type package using the out of
tree modules:
