No, I think together with very old versions of the AX25-HOWTO they
will confuse the newcomers since they are really not needed
anymore.
I still remember how we first started (and gave up soon) fiddling
around with Packet Radio under Linux. There were a lot of different
patches and versions of the ax25-utilities and also, of the HOWTO
documents with sometimes misunderstandable contents.
Since kernel 2.0.35 at least, all the AX.25 drivers are providing
network devices as interfaces. (Read the AX.25-HOWTO, even the
original version 1.7 is still up to date in that point.)
So IMHO you can safely drop all the AX.25 related devices under
/dev .
Cheers, 73
