I have been experimenting Mandrake Linux 10.0 rc with kernel 2.6.0 and 
the last AX25 patches
included into 2.6.1 kernel.

Mkiss driver is running well and there was no compilation problem here.

BTW compiling ax25-tools 0.0.8 gave me some warnings I was able to turn 
arround :
In ax25/axspawm.c
#include <sys/time.h> should be changed to
#include <time.h>

In netrom/net2kiss.c
#include <netinet/in.h> was missing
like in hdlcutil/hdrvcomm.c
#include <netinet/in.h> is needed for htons declaration
and looking at other sources I think that
also in hdrvcomm.c
#include <net/ethernet.h> should be modified like this

#ifdef __GLIBC__
#include <net/ethernet.h>
#else
#include <linux/if_ether.h>
#endif

There is another warning about /netrom/kissnetd.c : 106 with
sys_errlist is deprecated ; use strerror or sterror_r instead.

Although I am not familiar with diff I obtained a
diff of the ax25-tools.0.0.8 after I modified it.
