Before I try, just a question: Someone else already suggested a
similar patch, but had the problem of AX.25 callsigns not being
cleared in the /proc/net filesystem upon disconnect. So it was not
possible to connect the same station once again after a
disconnect. You had to reboot the machine...unacceptable. What
about your patch? Did you test the behaviour of your patch in that
situation?
