Hopefully the code Matthias will come up with still allows
us (me :-)) to write user mode AX.25 drivers. Currently I'm using
MKISS to stuff packets into the Kernel AX.25 from user mode.

Doing user mode network stacks really is a big advantage for
relatively compute intensive drivers such as soundmodem.
