When running ax25 applications, linux 2.6 kernels suffers from chronic 
instability leading to kernel panic and system reboot or sudden blockade.
The above mentionned AX25 patches remove the already identified causes 
of kernel locking.
Others are aimed at ROSE network  packet routing improvements.
You may find all the information you want about these patches on Linux 
netdev mailing list archive (MARC) site
 http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&r=1&w=2
and search for AX25 or ROSE keyword to select the threads.
