ax25-utils fails to find stuff in /etc/ax25/axports. Something to do with
the SIOCGIOCONF ioctl not working unless the port has an IP address
assigned. Try assigning one (even if you don't use it). Also, the
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET) calls need to change to socket(AF_AX25,SOCK_PACKET) or
something like that. Here's an incomplete SOURCE RPM that I set up.
It includes a patch for my own stuff that you may not want to include:
http://www.columbia.edu/~alan/ham/.
Read and understand my patches before using them. They are incomplete and
will break. It was a quick fix.
