I don't know if anyone of you has this problem, but I found that
everytime ax25d answers a call and spawns a connection to a service it
opens "ax25" module for use. The problem is that when the connection is
closed we still have the "ax25" module opened.
  This means that I can never remove ax25 module from memory because it
says it is in use.
  When I made my last reboot I had ax25 module opened 725 times.

  Present situation:

Module                  Size  Used by
af_packet               5868   5  (autoclean)
scc                    18168   3 
mkiss                   7516   1 
ax25                   35776  56  [scc mkiss]


 call local0 cs1sel-8 cs1sel-9 (calling linuxnode via linuxnet in a local
                                link to linuxnet)


  When the connection is up:

Module                  Size  Used by
af_packet               5868   5  (autoclean)
scc                    18168   3 
mkiss                   7516   1 
ax25                   35776  58  [scc mkiss]

  I close the connection by leaving LinuxNode (bye).

  After connection is closed:

Module                  Size  Used by
af_packet               5868   5  (autoclean)
scc                    18168   3 
mkiss                   7516   1 
ax25                   35776  57  [scc mkiss]

  These tests were made also with CLX (CS1SEL-5) and axconv for htpp
(CS1SEL-6). No one have called to these services in the meantime.

  Other problem found in ax25d is that when I quit linuxnet and remove the
kissattach of my local loopback link (ifconfigured), my ax25d blows and
leaves a core dump. I have to restart it again.
  My sequence of commands to remove linuxnet is:

    ifconfig ax0 down
    kill the kissattach command
    kill the linuxnet program
    and at last remove the tty LOCK.

  I haven't found yet where is the problem. Can I do this when I have 
connections made trough this interface?


  Thanks for your attention,
