Isn't this the other way around?
Datagram is the default mode, and I've never seen UI frames after the
connection has been established. But maybe I'm mistaking.
The next question that pops up is;
If this setting determines the AX.25 connection type, then what is the
difference with the parameter set in
/proc/sys/net/ax25/<portname>/connect_mode ???
