Hello together,
I'm very sorry about your inconveniences with 6pack.
Here are the actual facts:
- 6pack-0.2.0 is a module designed for 2.0.x kernels. It is the latest
version currently available. I have done some minor changes in the
menatime, i.e. code optimizations and cleanups, but not released them
yet. The driver is currently available on
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/ham/packet/linux/ax25/6pack-0.2.0.tgz
- For 2.2.x kernels, the driver is contained in the kernel source tree.
It is based on the 0.2.0 code with small changes so the code will
compile on 2.2.x.
- On glibc systems, the last five #include < > statements have to be
removed in 6pack.c, else the compliation will result in
errors about redfinitions.
- When modifying kissattach.c to attach a 6pack TNC, the hint about
defining N_6PACK is no longer valid because this symbol is now
part of the Linux kernel include files.
- I am not able to extend the driver for TNC chaining because I do
not have the opportunity to test it. Some time ago, a Spanish
amateur released a user-space 6pack multiplexer called m6pack
(like mkiss in the ax25utils). This might be a good point to start with.
If someone would like to write TNC chaining code
for my kernel driver, please contact me.
