I browsed for it and found two other things that may help you ? http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x1958.html and look at bpqparms manual for it suggests other things. # man bpqparms I have a question : did you load ax25 module ? And finally are you sure bpq is still supported with kernel 2.6 ? 73 de Bernard, f6bvp Selon Miroslav Skoric : http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x1958.html > On 07/09/2011 11:27 PM, Bernard F6BVP wrote: > > > Giving us the listing of your /etc/ax25/axports > > and /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf files would be helpful > > for it looks like you did not declare any ax25 ports > > in those files. > > Hi Bernard!
