In the past week I noticed various ROSE bugs including non-atomic manipulation of variables which may explain this and other issues. Some may be hard to trigger but ROSE (and probably AX.25 and NETROM) are still quite full of bugs. > Second, is the impossibility to remove rose module after an application such > as FPAC has initialized rose nodes and routes. I never noticed that one - I tend to build my AX.25 test kernels with all protocols and drivers built in most of the time. Certain other kernel modules - IPv4 and IPv6 come to mind - cannot be unloaded either. It was deemed to much work for too little gain to make that work. I'm not sure if ROSE belongs into that group? Probably not. Ralf
