Hi,
Having got RedHat 5.2 and a nice new disk to use on my packet system I
have a problem when it comes to setting up kernel AX25.
I have built (and booted) kernel 2.0.36 with AX25 and NETROM modules and
Radio Interfaces (KISS and Z8530). I have obtained and installed
ax25-utils-2.1.42a.rpm and copied the config files from my existing
(working) AX25 setup to /etc/ax25, but each time I try and start
kissattach using commands like:
/usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyS0 1
or
/usr/sbin/kissattach -i 44.131.95.1 /dev/ttyS0 1
I get the message:
kissattach: TIOCSETD: Invalid argument
I tried manually loading the ax25 module using:
insmod ax25
lsmod shows it loaded, but I still get the error.
What else am I missing ??
Where can I find sample /etc/init.d/ script(s) for starting/stopping
AX25/NETROM ??
Also:
In my existing setup I use the 'dummy' network driver, but attempting to
configure the dummy network device on the new RedHat setup using:
ifconfig dummy <my_ip_address> mtu 576 up
gives:
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFMTU: Operation not supported by device
What am I not doing correctly here ?
My existing Slackware based configuration doesn't use Kernel Modules for
AX25/NETROM or Ethernet, so am I not doing something I should be ??
