You dont say what kernel you are using,??
Or which ax25-utils.???
The interface down stuff has been discussed before, see the mail
archives.
I do not have this problem after 100+ days uptime on my router/node
machine, it has had multiple connects. The stand is no higher than 7
on all my machines, 3 of them using bpq, netrom, ax25.
I have checked by connecting other machines via ax25 and netrom, it
does not alter the used count.
Module Pages Used by
netrom 6 1
scc 7 3
ax25 12 [netrom scc] 7 (autoclean)
smc-ultra 1 1
8390 2 [smc-ultra] 0
serial 7 1
The above after 75 days uptime on this machine running 2.0.36.
Another machine running 2.2.13 has no problems, and yet another
running 2.0.37
The only differance is mkiss, all my machines use "only" the
ax25/netrom scc combination from the kernel itself, no outside
programs are used.
