Re: 2.6.13 mkiss update?

["Joni Bäcklund" <joni@connect.fi>]

I can confirm that running kissattach produces kernel panic with 2.6.15. 
So do not use it until there is a patch available ! Seems that kernel 
ax25 developers are not quite sync with the kernel network code..

I have 2.6.14.5 running quite fine, tested both with kiss and 6pack. 
Also 2.6.13.X seriers runs fine with
6pack TNC driver that is way better than kiss anyhow :)
