Kernel 2.6.9 & NETROM errors

I am wondering if anyone else is having similar problems. I am using the same simple netrom configuration as with the 2.4 kernel.

Netromd collects and forwards netrom sites. When I try to connect to a remote site, from the console, I can see the packets being sent out and the return connect come back. That's when the whole pc locks up and requires a hard reset.

AX25 call (via port) to the same remote sites works normally.

Kernel Gentoo-2.6.9-r6

Pentium 4, hyperthreading SMP
