[Ham-Linux] mandrake(driva) 10

[Doug Laidlaw]

I had problems getting packet to work with Mandriva 2006.  It uses kernel 
2.6.12.  On googling about, I found an advice that in the 2.6 series of 
kernels, support for AX.25 in releases prior to 2.6.14 is broken.  I 
downloaded and compiled 2.6.16-11, and that seems to have fixed the problem.  
The error message no longer appears, although I am still having issues at the 
port configuration stage.

I have forgotten what kernel  Mandrake 10.1 uses, but there is a 2.4 kernel on 
the installation CDs which should be O.K.

Doug.
