Ok ... more information ... the problem is still with me. After looking
at it more closely I can see exactly *what* is happening but not *why*.
What's happening is that as soon as I start my kissattach command, it
*removes* all of the other directories under /proc/sys/net ... except
for ax25!
Just after a reboot .... before starting ax25 services ...
# cd /proc/sys/net
# ls -l
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ./
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ../
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 802/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ax25/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 core/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ethernet/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ipv4/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 netrom/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 unix/
The netrom directory is there as it should be ...
# ls -l netrom
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ./
dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 default_path_quality
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 link_fails_count
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 network_ttl_initialiser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57
obsolescence_count_initialiser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 routing_control
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57
transport_acknowledge_delay
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 transport_busy_delay
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 transport_maximum_tries
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57
transport_requested_window_size
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 transport_timeout
Then just after I start the ax25 services ... *all* the other directories
go away except for ax25!
# ls -l
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ./
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ../
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 3 21:57 ax25/
Here's what is in my ax startup file. I ran it line by line ... it's
definately the kissattach command that is the culprit.
#!/bin/sh

ifconfig nr0 down
echo "Attaching ax25 devices ..."

Ok, now, anyone have a clue what's happening here? Thanks.
