Don't use a name like "nr0" as this device name will be used and shown 
in the output of "ifconfig -a".  In the nrports file, I recommend to 
name it say "netrom" or "netrom0".  Anything will do really.

This is your problem.. this needs to point to the AX25 interface name 
and NOT the device name.  This will be something like "vhfdrop" or 
whatever as defined in your /etc/ax25/axports file.  Btw, unless your 
machine is going to be a high level netrom node, I don't recommend you 
send out Netrom beacons to have stations route traffic THROUGH you.  As 
such, change the last parameter (called verbose) to 0.

Don't use a name like "ax0" as this device name will be used and shown 
in the output of "ifconfig -a".  In the axports file, I recommend to 
name it say "vhfdrop" or "d710".  Anything will do really.
