Hello Everyone, Ive cross posted this message to debian-hams, and debian-sparc, , as it involves both, so my apologies if this is off topic for you.
(In replies, please only send to the list that you are subscribed to, or me directly, in an attempt to reduce the amount of cross pollution) Anyway, I have potato installed, currently running, and was about to recompile my kernel (2.2.17) with AX25 and BGP support. However, I note that there is no BPQ option in make xconfig, and after a little digging, I find that it is in the i386 architecture source tree, but not the SPARC. My question is simple (and I know strictly speaking this is could be considered slightly off-topic for both lists, sorry), but: Does BPQ (AX-25 over ethernet) work on Debian-SPARC ? Is it just someone has done a merge of two trees, and the config stuff got lost ? Or does BPQ rely on something on the i386 architecture ? Or am I missing something totally obvious ? I have tried both the stock kernel, and added Mattias's (DG2FEF) patch [from DG1KJD's home page], and found BPQ missing in the kernel config stuff both times. Personally, I see no reason why BPQ shouldn't work, after all ethernet frames are ethernet frames, but maybe the BPQ driver doesnt talk to the Sun Lance driver ? (After all, under intel architecture, how can it know what particular Net Card it is talking to ?) Anyway, any help, or advice will be gratefully received and apologies to anyone on both lists who finds this off topic Best Regards Iain(G7III) PS: Althought I am (supposidly) on both lists, please CC [EMAIL PROTECTED], in order to ensure I actually receive your reply [Don't ask, else Ill start the ISP/MTA /Whatever broke this time rant...]
