Linux NetRom Node Question

Hello all,

I am still working on setting up our RMS to send out NetRom Broadcasts. I have added a "dummy" entry into the nrports file for connection outbound from the node. I also corrected the entry for the RMS. Running nrattach it comes back with "NET/ROM port winl2k bound to device nr0", but it never shows up when I run ifconfig. There are no errors in the system logs when I run nrattach. Does anyone have an example nrports file they would be willing to share? I'm a bit stuck on this because the nr0 interface does not come up and the system gives me no errors in /var/log/messages.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't use netrom as it was causing segfaults at one stage and as no one around here uses netrom anymore I stopped.

however just out of curiosity I had a look

firstly
modprobe netrom
then

root@ns1:~# cat /etc/ax25/nrports
# /etc/ax25/nrports
#
# The format of this file is:
#
# name callsign alias paclen description
#
netrom  EI7IG-14 #TMRE  235     Switch Port
netnod  EI7IG-1  TMRE   235     Node
root@ns1:~# nrattach -i 44.155.6.12 -m 236 netrom
NET/ROM port netrom bound to device nr0
root@ns1:~# ifconfig nr0
nr0       Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM  HWaddr EI7IG-14
           inet addr:44.155.6.12  Mask:255.0.0.0
