Ok, I've been able to compile the kernel by including only the
essentials of ax25 in the kernel and discarding all the rest. Now I
have a problem. The system does not know his own ARP. Here's an
example:

root:~ # arp -an
Address W HWtypHdre Flags Mask Iface
44.134.208.110 ether 02:60:8C:4A:EE:8E C * eth0
44.134.208.177 netrom * MP * *
192.168.0.1 nerom * MP * *

now:
- the ether entry is ok.
- I do NOT have any netrom here. where did it come from ? It
should've been an ax.25 one, with hwadd=ik5pvx-1
- 192.168.0.1 is the nameserver of my provider's provider (!) and
should not have an arp enty at all, because I connect throug
slip, and if I remember correctly point to point links do not
need arp

Here's the output of ifconfig:root:~ # ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

ax0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr IK5PVX-1

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:256 Metric:1
RX packets:747 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

and the portion of /etc/init.d/network regarding ax.25:

echo -n AX.25:
/bin/stty crtscts > /dev/cua0
/bin/stty 9600 > /dev/cua0
#/root/kisson
sleep 2
kissattach -l /dev/ttyS0 vhf &
sleep 3
ax25d -l &
#axparms -parms vhf -idig n -xdig n -netrom n -window 7
sleep 3
mheardd -l &
beacon -l vhf "penny.ik5pvx.ampr.org (44.134.208.177)\n`uname -a`\n"
ifconfig ax0 ${IPADDR}
ifconfig ax0 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig ax0 broadcast 44.134.208.255
ifconfig ax0 arp mtu 256 up
route add -host 44.134.208.176 dev ax0
route add -host 44.134.96.90 dev ax0
route add -host 44.134.208.116 gw 44.134.208.176
echo done.

this produces the following netstat -r output:

root:~ # netstat -r

please note the doubled entries
what are they?

Thanks
