There is no support for Ham protocols in Fedora3 kernels, you need to make 
your own kernel if you require ham radio support.

Well some say it is bad but most know its the easyest way to change things.
If you simply delete the section for AX25 support and its sub protocols and 
then run make oldconfig it will automaticly stop and ask you if you want AX25 
support in the kernel or as modules, when you select one or the other you 
will then be asked about netrom, rose, mkiss, scc drivers and the likes.
As soon as the last question has been answered the config process will fly on 
to the end.

Good or bad idea, well i´ve done it that way for years and never had problems.

You may well have changed things yourself, but if you did not compile and 
install another kernel then you dont have AX25 support anywhere.
