Ok, i'll drop the netrom part until it works then (not a crucial part of
our network) Although the netrom tools do compile just fine. I can
initialize the netrom interfaces, netromd (aparently) runs ok, only
problem is that ax25d and other programs, can't bind to the netrom ports
correctly...

Ok, I've had a look at ax25.h in the kernel includes, and took the
definition from this file, and copied it over to kernel_ax25.h in
libax25, i figured that since it's a 'link' to the kernel it had to be the
same as the one in the kernel includes...
