Hi All,

let me start by saying I'm not sure that I'm not confused out of my mind.

On Sunday I compiled 2.6.25.4 and appeared to have my fourport ISA card 
(single IRQ) working. I could make out going connections (as reported in 
/proc/tty/drivers/serial) and with a TNC on one port I could connect to 
a local digi. I didn't check to see if /proc/sys/net/ax25 existed. Given 
that there were no errors about ports not being configured I'm assuming 
those files were there.

Yesterday I added the USCC card, and all ports - scc and ax - were 
reported as attaching but later on as not configured. A check revealed 
/proc/sys/net/ax25 didn't exist, but it was there prior to running 
rc.ax25. It appears that kissattach may be causing the problem but I 
can't be sure yet.

I trimmed rc.ax25 to only contain the fourport configuration and to 
attach the ax ports; i.e. it was the same as Sunday afternoon, and I get 
the error message. Did I not see it on Sunday??? I don't know now.

Just on the chance that 2.6.25.4 was problematic, I compiled 2.5.25.1 - 
same end result.

I'm currently compiling 2.6.18.6 so I can start from a known starting point.

I can't rule out the fourport having issues despite it appearing to be 
ok. There are no indicated irq or ioports clashes with other services, 
as indicated by /proc/irq and /proc/ioports

I wish I had some hair to tear out.

Oops,

Wrong list although the outcome will eventually impact xfbb.
