Re: Debian kernels disabling AX.25?

The only distro running 2.6.37 I know of is Linux Mint and it's buggy in many ways. I run Mepis Debian and our Alpha release is running 2.6.36 kernel. For everything to run smooth I use 2.6.36 updated to "sid" and a few packages from "experimental" as well. If you want some idea of what all is issue look up the Mepis users forum and check out the beta-rc's section of the forum. Most major bugs have been worked out but still some snags from time to time for some systems. Debian stable is still 2.6.32-something. IMO 2.6.37 is a non-issue as it will require some hands on hacking for most systems. 73's Jerry

Isn't that what the discussion a month or so was about? There's security

back in the archives, but I thought it was just a matter of loading the
modules?

If that's all it is, obviously I don't care about having to modprobe it.  "Disabled" sounds different to me.

Over on my blog at
http://changelog.complete.org/archives/5496-wikis-amateur-radio-and-debian/comment-page-1
there is a person saying that 2.6.37 kernel packages starting at -rc4
are disabling AX.25. I don't know who is saying that, or how to verify
it, but do we know if it's true, and if so, what can we do about it?
