Hello Dave, Are you talking about this change below? If so, this has no material improvements to the AX25 stack other than to improve cross-platform compiling. --David KI6ZHD -- Format: 1.8 Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 14:18:45 + Source: libax25 Binary: libax25 libax25-dev Architecture:

For those NOT on the debian-h...@lists.debian.org reflector... The AX.25 maintainers are working on AX.25 and updates to AX.25 have been uploaded to "Debian FTP Masters" by Dave "Hibby" Hibberd. 73 Dave KB3EFS On 02/05/2018 02:16 PM, Curt, WE7U wrote: > On Mon, 5 Feb 2018, Jason KG4WSV wrote:

Folks: I have done more testing on this "fix" to AX.25 networking, and it is broken --- it works for transmit, but not receive. I will not be merging it upstream, and if you were planning on giving it a whirl, don't bother. I've deleted the branch on which the fix lives, and instead opened a

Hello Max, Why does ax.25 need to be in the kernel? What am I installing when I do apt-get install ax25? What about the millions of users that don't use ax.25, doesn't that just make the kernel a little larger for them without any benefits? Help me understand this as I'd really like to

Hey Tom, Everyone, I would appreciate it if *everyone* on the list who uses AX.25 networking routinely would test out this code --- it impacts *everyone* who uses AX.25 networking in Xastir. The Ax.25 stack in the Linux kernel is falling apart and there have been various discussions about

Changing the subject line to get more people to see this. Max reports that on his linux system the kernel is putting warnings in the syslog about xastir using deprecated arguments to a socket call. I looked into it. The issue was known to Chuck Byam in 2003, but he made a minor error in the
