You need to have a package called ax25-tools installed, in it
you'll find a couple of binaries that you need for the
configuration. First you need to setup an axports file, typically
located in directory /etc/ax25. There should be sample files and
maybe even man pages in the package that document the format. Then
you need to couple a port described in axports to a physical serial
port (if using a regular KISS TNC), it is done with kissattach. Now
you should have basic kernel AX.25 functionality.
If you want netrom and/or rose, you then need to create suitable
nrports or rsports files and similarly activate the interfaces
using nrattach/rsattach (after kissattaching). There used to be a
ham howto that describes these things in detail, but it could be
outdated still.. anyway the basic process hasn't changed much in
the last 10 years, file names, locations and executable names/
parameters may have changed.
The AX25-HOWTO is a bit dated, but is still helpful in setting up the
interfaces, etc. It can be found at <http://tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-
HOWTO/>. Many Linux distributions have documentation packages
containing this document.
