Re: netromd + AF_PACKET/PF_PACKET

[Pidoux <f6bvp@free.fr>]

Hi,

Actually netromd was using obsolete PF_INET, SOCK_PACKET and I changed it
to PF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET in ax25-tools.0.0.8.3 version.

Like you reported I can observe also netromr "bad argument"

Thus I added some modification in netromd code to make it display debuging log messages correctly.
This lead to version ax25-tools.0.0.8.4 that can be downloaded from hre :

http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/ax25-tools-0.0.8.4src_f6bvp.tgz

Here is an extract from ChangeLog file :

  ax25-tools (0.0.8.4)
          * netrom debug info was not correctly reported.
            Starting netromd -lid will now
            write useful information into /var/log/messages

   -- Bernard Pidoux <f6bvp@amsat.org>

  ax25-tools (0.0.8.3)
          * kernel info (/var/log/kernel/info) tells PF_INET, SOCK_PACKET is
          obsolete. net/socket.c  says it should be replaced by PF_PACKET.
          This is done in hdrvcom.c, net2kiss.c, yamcfg.c
          * PF_INET = AF_INET. Thus (AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET) is also replaced by
          AF_PACKET in netromd.c, mheardd.c, rxecho.c and kissparms.c.
          ax25/ax25.4 file updated accordingly.

This is a listing of /var/log/messages when using ax25d version 0.0.8.4 :

Hope this will help finding the invalid argument received by netromd.
