AX.25 in 2.4 isn't stable without extra patches either. There's a patchset known as 9a4gl floating around which most users are quite happy with - without 2.4 for serious use such as a mailbox or digipeater is a no go. At this late stage in the software lifecycle of 2.4 I won't try to polish these patches into a shape that would make them acceptable for kernel.org anymore - but if anybody else is interested I'd certainly give my maintainer's approval. Oh, and I've declared NET/ROM my next victim for a code overhaul now that pure AX.25 in 2.6 seems stable enough for month of uptime and all the important driver work except support for the PR-430 in the 6pack driver has been submitted and accepted upstream. 73, Ralf
