Here is your problem I think. The ax25-utils will not work with
2.2.x kernels.
You need to get
libax25
ax25-tools
ax25-apps
then run
lsmod to make sure all sound modules are not running
remove them with modprobe -r
then modprobe soundmodem
then sethdlc -p -i sm0 with your mode, irq, io, dma, ptt settings
hope this helps
