That's strange but to be honest, I would recommend you to do all your 
base infrastructure commands first (kissattach, netrom, ax25d, mheard, 
etc) FIRST.  Then start some of your AX.25 applications (axdigi, 
aprsdigi, etc) next and then your beacons last.

Btw, after you run this command, check out the output of "ifconfig -a" 
and check the subnet mask.  I bet it's wrong.  You'll need to manually 
correct this with ifconfig after the fact.  This is what my packetrig.sh 
script does.

Please do not use the legacy RELAY syntax.  Only use WIDE and maybe 
TRACE.  I'm not very familiar with aprsdigi but have you seen Aprx?

That's possible but that would be a bug in my book.

Yeah.. that's OLD code (2012).  If you want to run the Official AX.25 
tools (not always the most current btw), I recommend you use the most 
current code in Git - http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/GIT

More recommended, try building VE7FET's version of the tools: 
https://github.com/ve7fet/linuxax25


> The one included in debian.

Not recommended (see above) as you are missing some key fixes 
(especially if you're going to be doing AMPR / IPIP net stuff)
