No, or lets say i dont, however you might have some IRQ problem, i have a
friend who has a simlar problem, his ethernet card, i belive a NE2000 clone
gets IRQ3 assined, now thats spells problems, if you use a serial mouse and
a TNC on /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1
I have not gone into his problem enought to say any more, but i have seen
his configuration and he has the same problems as you describe.
I would do the following to see what IRQ's are in use by what devices.
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
Make a note of all IRQ's in use and take it from there.
It could be some thing simple like excluding IRQ3 and 4 from PCI/PNP
configuration in your bios.
I would also assign my IP# with kissattach (for a TNC or modem) -i option
and use ifconfig to assign the correct netmask and broadcast addresses.
(See the AX25-HOWTO) for that, its has good examples and that part is realy
still "up to date".
On another note, not realy ax25 related, when i installed kernel 2.2.4 last
week, my ethernet played up with routing, i was using the same netmask i
have always used 255.255.255.0 but that did not work in 2.2.4 however
255.255.255.255 does. I thought i would mention it "just in case".
