I dont want to be a wet ass, however my fedora core kernel has # CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not set which in turn means that there is no support for hamradio in fedora kernels at all, that is if i see it correctly. To make it clear, my kernel is 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 which i do belive was updated by up2date. Futher more i can see no support for AX25 in other kernels from fedora. On another note if i am correct, to configure mkiss in �make menuconfig� one needs to check the box Device Drivers -> Networing Support Then check [ ] Amateur Radio support ---> Considering my .config file did not include an asterisk in that box i presume that Fedore does not supply kernels with AX25 at all. Or am i incorrect in saying this.??? Also to make it quite clear i dont use a soundmodem so i cannot really conribute anything else to this thread, i just thought it worth mentioning.
