Linux NetRom Node Question

Hello all,

I have been working on setting up a RMS WinLink2000 gateway on Linux for our local club. I wanted to set the box up to send out NetRom Broadcasts so it would so up on the node list on all the local nodes. I have setup the nrports and nrbroadcast files up per the man pages(see config files below), but when I run the nrattach command I can't get it to bring up the nr0 interface. It gives me no errors when I run nrattach, but when I cat /proc/net/nr_nodes afterwards I see no node info. Also if I ifconfig nr0 after running nrattach it shows up with no callsign. Is there something I'm missing?

The box is running openSuse 11.1 with the 2.6.27.25-0.1-pae kernel.

Thanks all and 73's

Just to clarify a point, have you loaded the netrom module?
