AX.25 For Linux 2.3

[home][features]

Release Notes

ax25-kernel-2.3.10-1
  • soundmodem transmit problem should be fixed, however it is still untested.
  • Thomas Sailers EPP driver has been resurrected. I've renamed it to baycom_eppflex and made a few changes to make it compile with 2.3.10's parport interface. However I've made no attempt to run it.
  • mkiss is gone. use kiss instead and report problems to me.
  • changed the format of /proc/net/ax25 to the format used in 2.2.10 and 2.3.10 respectively.
  • changed __initfunc() to __init wherever I found it :-)
ax25-kernel-2.2.10-3
  • this patch has the same content as ax25-kernel-2.3.10-1. In fact, I'm doing all development based on the 2.2 series of kernels to be sure that all ill effects I see are really caused by my code and are not side effects of changes within the unstable development version of linux.

Known Problems and Errors

  • Soundmodem drivers don't transmit. The cause for this problem is known will be fixed in the next release.
  • Server applications need 120 seconds before they again accept a connections from a just disconnected peer, if the inbound address field is the same. The cause for this problem is also known, but needs a time of deep thoughts to be fixed properly.
  • Outbound connections cannot be initiated with extended sequence numbers. Inbound connections with extended sequence numbers are untested.
