Is there a place where we can get the latest unofficial patches? Has anyone considered a fork to keep it relevant to modern kernels?
I would say it is best to remove all AX.25 code from the kernel and use one or more userspace programs to provide the functionality instead.
It is just too difficult to keep some seldomly used feature working in the kernel working without testing (as outlined by David). And once there is a problem, it is almost impossible to get it fixed and very difficult to propagate fixes to end-user systems.
Put only device drivers in the kernel, not the actual protocol code.
