It appears that the kissattach/mkiss interface is broken in OSS 10.0, most likely a problem with the interface between kissattach and the mkiss kernel module. When doing a kissattach I get a message like "TIOCDCTL device not found" and "did you load the MKISS module". The mkiss module is loaded, netstat shows a line that something happened, but there are no listeners and subsequent commands to use the port fail. Also, there is nothing shown in ifconfig. In fact if I unload mkiss with modprobe -r mkiss, ifconfig will core dump indicating that the module has corrupted the kernel device tables. The system will also hang when shutting down at the "shutting down network interfaces" section of shutdown. It occurs using either the 9.3 or 10.0 builds of ax25_tools. I can set up a test node and try to get some better details if needed. At this point, I am not sure who the responsible maintainer would be. I would have done a little more debugging if this had not been my production server which I had to back down to 9.3 to get it back in operation again. 73 de Mike, W1NR -----Original Message----- From: Joerg Reuter [mailto:jreuter@novell.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 8:37 AM To: suse-ham@suse.com; suse-ham-e@suse.com Subject: [suse-ham-e] hamradio packages for 10.0 (Deutscher Text unten) Hi, I've finally put up the hamradio packages for SUSE Linux 10.0. Just add ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/ham/10.0-i386/ (or one of the numerous mirrors) as an installation source to YaST ("yast inst_source") and you can use YaST to install the packages. Please note that I just have built those packages and haven't tested a single one. Especially the baycomepp and soundmodem packages contain some adjustments of preprocessor macros that wouldn't compile with GGC 4 otherwise. qgrid has been dropped as I really don't have the time to fix the makefile... Bug reports, preferably with diffs that I just need to add to the spec file, are appreciated, but please note that I'm building the packages when I have some excess time here at work, which only happens very rarely. And, of course, these packages are *not* official SUSE Linux packages. ----- Ich habe jetzt endlich die Amateurfunkpakete für SUSE Linux 10.0 gebaut bekommen und unter ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/ham/10.0-i386/ abgelegt. Einfach obige URL (oder einen der vielen Mirrors) in YaST als Installationsquelle hinzufügen ("yast inst_source") und mit YaST installieren. Beachtet bitte, dass ich die Pakete nur gebaut, aber nicht ein einziges davon getestet habe. Insbesondere baycomepp und soundmodem enthalten einige Änderungen an Präprozessor-Makros, da sie sonst nicht mit GCC 4 kompilierbar sind. qgrid gibt es nicht mehr, ich habe nicht die Zeit, das Makefile zu reparieren... Bug-Berichte, bevorzugt mit Patchfiles, die ich lediglich dem Specfile hinzufügen muss, sind willkommen, allerdings bitte ich zu beachten, dass ich mich nur drum kümmern kann, wenn ich hier mal ein paar freie Minuten habe, was in den letzten Jahren zunehmend seltener vorkommt. Und natürlich sind es *keine* offiziellen SUSE-Linux-Pakete. Have a lot of fun, -- Joerg Reuter DL1BKE http://yaina.de/jreuter And I make my way to where the warm scent of soil fills the evening air. Everything is waiting quietly out there.... (Anne Clark)
