I made the patch and recompiled the kernel. So far the system is working
perfectly. Using command lsmod I see the allocation and deallocation of
ax25 module.
Now I have only ax25 module Using Count with the value corresponding to
the number of programs running and using it.
If I see any secundary effect I'll report it here in the mailing list.
Thank you very much!
Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. Have all the fun you
can. :-)
