Hi,
I thought that after all the dust around the new 2.2 kernel was settled
I would try it myself....
The PC boots with the new kernel, so sofar so good...
But I'm having problems getting some parts of AX.25 to work properly.
Somehow netrom and mkiss are not working using the same configuration
files as I use for kernel 2.0.36.
I use the following script to setup 2 ptty's and loop them together.
#! /bin/sh
echo "Setting up pseudo interfaces..."
modprobe mkiss
kissattach /dev/ptypf loop1
kissattach /dev/ptype loop2
mkiss /dev/ttypf /dev/ttype &
# end of script.
axports looks as follows:
#/etc/ax25/axports
#
#name call speed paclen window description
lap48 PE1ICQ-1 0 256 2 70cm 4800bd
scc2 PE1ICQ-2 0 256 2 430.9125 MHz - 9k6 bps
loop1 l00p-1 0 255 7 Loop Back Port 1
loop2 l00p-2 0 255 7 Loop Back Port 2
# end of axports.
When I run the setup script, everything seems to go OK. Here is the
output.
stoffel ~/# /etc/rc.d/rc.ptty
Setting up pseudo interfaces...
AX.25 port loop1 bound to device ax0
AX.25 port loop2 bound to device ax1
stoffel ~/#
But when I try to use these ports, it doesn't work. Here is the output.
stoffel ~/# call loop1 pe1icq
axconfig: port loop1 not active
axconfig: port loop2 not active
nrconfig: port netrom not active
call: invalid port setting
stoffel ~/#
I have some problems also with netrom using kernel 2.2.x.
I use the same configuration files as when booting with kernel 2.0.36.
Using kernel 2.0.36 they work just fine.
I checked the mailing-list archive and found reports about similar
problems, but I didn't find any sollutions.
Does anybody have a sollution for this.?
