kernel 2.4.21 and AX25 & netrom
Hi,
Quoted 1 line
or there is a fix to be done in the 2.4.21 kernel release?
I made a lot of fixes, some of them are implemented in 2.6.0-testX, too. Some of fixes in my patch are stolen from boys working on 2.6 kernel. When I posted here the info about my patch before more then month ago, there were still big problems in kernel... Now I am running patched 2.4.21 more then 15 days without crash, think it is ready to be merged in some of next 2.4 kernel releases...
so, those having crashes (even protocol problems), try this patch:
ftp://ham2.cc.fer.hr/pub/users/9a4gl/9a4gl-ax25-2421-20030831.patch the patch is against clean 2.4.21, so do not apply this patch if you have patched kernel with any of my previous patches

Well, thanks for working on this. So, then let me get this straight. The most stable option is to get 2.4.21 and patch it with your patch, and that's different from 2.4.22, right?

2.4.22 have one bugfix by dl9sau which fixes problem when kernel sends SABM frames with unknown calls... didnt try, but my patch should also apply to 2.4.22, will check in few days when will have more time, then I will also create patch for 2.4.22...

I tried applying the patch to one of my systems today. It was an unmodified 2.4.21 kernel and it returned one error from dmascc.c. I don't use that drives so it should not be a problem for me, but it may be for others.
