Hi all.
After a long period of packet inactivity, I decided to put my station on
the air again. But using linux this time....
I downloaded ax-25-utils-2.1.42 from metalab.unc.edu and compiled it
(with a little 'hack' on hdrvcomm.c. The file seeked for the macro
ETH_P_AX25 in 'linux/if.h'. It seems that that macro's now defined in
'linux/if_ether.h')
Following AX25-HOWTO, i proceeded as follows:
* setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none /* to prevent resource sharing conflicts */
* insmod hdlcdrv
* insmod baycom_ser_hdx mode="ser12*" iobase=0x3f8 irq=4
* sethdlc -i bcsf0 -p mode "ser12*" iobase 0x3f8 irq 4
* sethdlc -i bcsf0 -a txd 200 slot 100 ppersist 40 half
* ifconfig bcsf0 hw ax25 LW6DVO up
* axparms -setcall bcsf0 LW6DVO-1
everything ok by now....
here's my /etc/ax25/axports
# /etc/ax25/axports
#
vhf LW6DVO-1 1200 255 2 Puerto 2m
But, when i do a, say, 'call vhf lu7dbl' i get the following error msg:
axconfig: port vhf not active
call: no AX.25 port data configured.
BTW, my 'ham' box is an AMD 486DX4 VLB, Linux kernel 2.2.9 (SuSE 5.1 -a
reduced demo version that came with a Spanish magazine-) and the modem is
a 'baycom', TCM3105 based.
What would be the problem???
I've read somewhere that even 'new' versions of axutils doesn't work well
on 2.2.x kernels.
