Hi all!
I have been experimenting with 3 computers as AX.25 nodes in a home LAN,
as follows:
_____________ ___________________ __________________
VHF |MS DOS 5 comp| |MS Windows XP comp| |MS Windows XP comp|
TRX--TNC2--| BPQ 4.09d | -- | BPQ32 4.10f |--| BPQ32 4.10f |
ant ------------- ------------------ ------------------
(1) (2) (3)
In the situation above all 3 nodes talk to each other without problems.
What I wanted to do was to replace comps (2) and (3) with Linux nodes.
Both of those comps are dual-boot: (2) is Debian 6.0.1a, and (3) is
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.
Ok so I installed libax, ax25tools and ax25apps, as well as node on both
(2) and (3) by using Synaptic but am not able to activate the nodes
properly. In fact, I have edited the main files in /etc/ax25 on both
machines according to the ancient AX.25-howto and then tried the
following commands in Ubuntu terminal (in Debian root terminal of course
without 'sudo'):
sudo modprobe bpqether (did not complain anything)
sudo /sbin/ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 yt7mpb-15 up (did not complain either)
sudo ifconfig responded with:

sudo modprobe netrom (did not complain)
sudo nrattach netrom responded with:
NET/ROM port netrom bound to device nr0
sudo nrattach netnod responded with:
NET/ROM port netnod bound to device nr1
sudo ax25d responded with:
axconfig: port bpq0 not active
ax25d: no AX.25 port data configured
sudo netromd
axconfig: port bpq0 not active
netromd: no AX.25 ports defined
I suppose that I mis-configured and/or forgotten some important steps
and would like to contact somebody with more experience with Linux nodes
running over Ethernet. Btw, at the moment I do not plan to run any RF
ports on those Linux machines - just to have netrom nodes on them so
that those nodes should be able to talk with the dos computer (1), and
probably later I will add LinFBB to replace the WinFBB's that run over
BPQ32 nodes when (2) and (3) are booted as Win XP.

Hello Miroslav,
Giving us the listing of your /etc/ax25/axports
and /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf files would be helpful
for it looks like you did not declare any ax25 ports
in those files.
According to http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x495.html :
"To configure the BPQ support you need to configure the Ethernet device
with an AX.25 callsign. The following command will do this for you:
# /sbin/ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 vk2ktj-14 up
Again, remember that the callsign you specify should match the entry in
the /etc/ax25/axports file that you wish to use for this port."
Look at paragraph 6.2 in previous page link.
Concerning netromd, it also needs valid ax25 ports in /etc/ax25/nrbroadcast

As I mentioned in my previous post, I used the command:
sudo /sbin/ifconfig bpq0 hw ax25 yt7mpb-15 up
and i did not get any error related to it.

Ok, will check the link...

Hello Miroslav,
As an old time user of ROSE/FPAC node under Linux I ignore most
if not all of bpq application.
I browsed for it and found two other things that may help you ?
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x1958.html
and look at bpqparms manual for it suggests other things.
# man bpqparms
I have a question : did you load ax25 module ?
And finally are you sure bpq is still supported with kernel 2.6 ?
