Hello all,
If anyone is familiar with public software development, I need to get
the Linux AX.25 software suite added to OpenWRT.
I've successfully generated a makefile and /patches that will compile
the current libax25, but have issues with compiling ax25-tools (which
needs libax25; but I'm having trouble building individual packages with
dependencies in other locations). I haven't tried ax25-apps.
OpenWRT already posses kmod-ax25.
http://www.linux-ax25.org
Very basic for someone who knows. Please contact me.

Linwood;
Please be very careful with this.
There's many kernel issues with the ax25 stack and newer kernels that
cause the kernel to simply lock, panic, and other nasties. Also I don't
see why you would want or need ax25 within a router per say. There's
nothing you're really going to gain by doing this, if anything it'll
only create another possible back door for crackers to bypass your
firewalling using ham protocols to take over control of your router
device if they so chose to do such.

Brian,
I intended to create a Serial port and Kissattach a TNC to my router
(especially the one I'm building for HSMM Mesh). I would give it a call
and an IP in my Subnet.
Basically, I want to stand up an IP-over-AX.25 node. This device doesn't
have to be my router, but the idea since I moved my GW to OpenWRT was to
be able to handle all routing and forwarding for AMPRNet as normal (like
any router should).
If there are security issues with the software, tough, I'll have to
consider that. Can you please share more details, as I'm still trying to
build such a node into my network - some machine must run that tool to work.

I submitted a series of five patches to add libax25, ax25-apps, ax25-tools, aprsd and
digi-ned
to Openwrt back in July of 2009. You can find the patches in the archive starting with
this
one: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2009-July/thread.html#4630
They were never included as part of OpenWRT and would no longer directly apply but could
be useful.
