The devil is in details.
I must 'reverse' the patch suggested by Hans-Peter Zorn.

Yes, that patch seems to solve the 'oops' generated by downing an ax25
interface,
*BUT*
every time an ax25 connection is cleared (at user level) a stale definition
in the kernel keeps the ax25 connection in a 'disconnected' state. So you
can't connect that station anymore, and the system needs to be rebooted.

Hans Peter, try this sequence:
1 - Connect a station, like 'call portx xx0xx'
2 - Disconnect the station cleanly
3 - cat /proc/net/ax25 : The connection is not cleared!
4 - Try to reconnect the station: you can't.

I should recompile the 'clean' 2.2.9 kernel.

Looing for another solution of the 'kernel panic'.
