Protocol error

Hi guys,

Ever since I started using AX25 tools I seem to be getting the foolowing error message from the kernel in /var/log/messages.

Nov 17 18:15:21 nest-0 kernel: protocol 0000 is buggy, dev ax0

This message keep repeating quite often.

Now this is probably a warning and it does not seem to cause any problems to my AX25 operation. Has anyone seen this messsage in his setup and what does it mean please?

I use SUSE 7.3 with 2.4.10-GB kernel and I use the distribution AX25 tools. On port ax0 I do not use TCP/IP, just AX25 because it is the ax port for my APRSD. The funny thing is that I do not get any reports on interface ax1 where I use TCP/IP and it has a pk6 link to AMPRnet. I also have to tell you that I have assigned an IP address to port ax0 as well, but I do not use any IP on ax0.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi Demetre,

I have the same problem for a loooong time. I also have lots af messages like
this one in my /var/log/messages:

Nov 18 00:34:36 hamradio kernel: NET: 8 messages suppressed.

These messages arrive with a pace of 1 message every +-4 secs. I suppose that the fact that I have all the traffic passing trough
linuxnet makes this messages lots of times. (about one error for each frame received/sent).

Roumored that latest kernel (pre)release versions don't spit them out. At least HA5OB/Zoli was happy to see kernel 2.4.20-rc1 ceased complaining.

Hi Jorge Matias,

Thanks for reply. I wonder if this causes any problems. At this end when I had a P133 AMD with 32MB RAm, sometimes my radio would key the TNC and TX nothing.

Now I am not sure whether this is a TNC or computer problem. Eversince I upgraded my hardware to a faster PC (P433 Celeron with 128MB RAM) I have not observed this problem although the "protocol 0000 is buggy, dev ax0) is still there. I am not sure what caused the problem though, although it seems that the old slower PC with the 32MB RAM was at fault, but this problem was not persistent!!
