Sure, but that does not mean that _all_ interfaces must have IP address. In my specific present application scope the question is APRS -- those radio channels do not run IP at all, and therefore forcing the interfaces to have IP is superflous at best. > Matti Aarnio wrote: > > I can well understand that the IP address is OPTIONAL, but > > not that it is MANDATORY. Thus the question: is there a reason to have the IP address as MANDATORY parameter for things like kissattach ? Related: at present there are no ready-made init-scripts for AX.25/ROSE/etc. Or perhaps I just have failed to spot any in any Debian variations, or RedHat/SuSE... Something like what there exists for IP settings. 73 de Matti, OH2MQK - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
