Bug#338984: incompatability of libax25 and kernel-2.4 and fbb program



I know there is know support, but I had an old kernel-package still on
the shelve and I jused that one. It know runs oke with an old kernel,
but before I upgrade I need more time.

Please also check the problem in fbb, because it does a call to a
kernel function which doesn't exist or does, but has the wrong input
parameters.

73, Arjan
