Re: sucess story! upgrade from RH4.2 -> RH6.0
Netrom is broke Thomas. Use your old netromd in Red Hat 6 and it will work fine. If you use "listen" use a su - root xterm. Another problem...:-) On Mon, 16 Aug 1999, Thomas M. wrote: > Hi > > I've just upgraded my whole setup from RH4.2, to RH6.0.

Ok, i'll drop the netrom part until it works then (not a crucial part of our network) Although the netrom tools do compile just fine. I can initialize the netrom interfaces, netromd (aparently) runs ok, only problem is that ax25d and other programs, can't bind to the netrom ports correctly... > > in ax25_tools, the axctl program has an error, i removed the line near > > the bottom of the file, saying ax25_ctl.digi_count, as digi_count doesn't > > appear in the ax25_ctl struct... > > There is no error in axctl.

Ok, I've had a look at ax25.h in the kernel includes, and took the definition from this file, and copied it over to kernel_ax25.h in libax25, i figured that since it's a 'link' to the kernel it had to be the same as the one in the kernel includes... > The problem is that the kernel_*.h "compatibility headers" are broken. > Patch sent.

sucess story! upgrade from RH4.2 -> RH6.0
Hi I've just upgraded my whole setup from RH4.2, to RH6.0. Using the new libax25, ax25-tools etc. So far everything seems to run ok, except netrom ports. Somehow programs fail to see that the netrom devices are active... To get this far, I've had to patch a couple of files : in libax25 kernel_netrom.h is missing the definition of SOL_NETROM, after browsing some sources i found out that this should be 259, so I added a #define SOL_NETROM 259 to the file... in ax25_tools, the axctl program has an error, i removed the line near the bottom of the file, saying ax25_ctl.digi_count, as digi_count doesn't appear in the ax25_ctl struct... Is the above fixes ok?? Or have i messed up big time, by adding/deleting something in those files? In FBB i added a couple of defines for SOL_NETROM and SOL_AX25 to drv_sock.c (i tried to include kernel_netrom.h and kernel_ax25.h, but then the compiler just barfs about a lot of redefines). So now the setup is : RH6.0, kernel 2.2.11-ac3 xfbb 701a libax25 v.0.0.6 ax25-tools 0.0.4 ax25-apps 0.0.3 clx 4.06 Thomas Mørch licensed ham, with callsign OZ2AFO.

This one is ok. Though there are other errors in that file so you will find that many netrom tools won't work. > in ax25_tools, the axctl program has an error, i removed the line near > the bottom of the file, saying ax25_ctl.digi_count, as digi_count doesn't > appear in the ax25_ctl struct... There is no error in axctl. Zeroing ax25_ctl.digi_count is crucial to axctl's function, in fact with kernels older than 2.2.11 you can crash the kernel big time if it's not properly initialized... The problem is that the kernel_*.h "compatibility headers" are broken. Patch sent. Waiting for something to happen. -- --- Tomi Manninen / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / OH2BNS @ OH2RBI.FIN.EU ---
