Thanks David.
We've lost (losing) bragging rights about ax25's tight integration with
the Linux kernel, and all the reasons why I ditched Windows in favour of
Linux for my packet radio needs back in 1996.

The PTS and PTY systems aren't related to AX.25 so they will continue
to work. Ax25ipd and all other ax25, netrom, rose, and all other
associated libraries, applications, and tools using those protocols
will stop working. Failures have already started happening for some
use-cases already and that's why people are recommending to revert to
old kernels that don't have the breakage. That helps ax25/netrom/rose
needs but you loose all other bug fixes, security fixes, new hardware
support, etc.

David, a question. What happens to things like pseudo tty and ax25ipd
if ax25 is removed from the kernel?

Yes... now only if we can find some developers who understand the
Linux kernel undo the damage! Any takers?

https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net Just an observation: It is possible to recompile
just a kernel module.
Get the kernel source, extract the module, patch, compile and load.
If it works, replace the default one with it.
Not for the faint hearted, but it is an option.
