Bug#785381: ax25-tools: AX25-tools : unable to use kissattach with 6PACK option.
Package: ax25-tools
Version: 0.0.10-rc2+cvs20120204-4
Severity: normal
Justification: renders package unusable (6PACK) mode
Dear Maintainer,
trying to establish an AX25 interface using 6PACK in place of kiss, using kissattch -6 option, the interface sp0 is created and activated.
The interface answers to a self ping (that means : pinging from the same machine to the iface IP is ok), pinging the same interface from any other machine it's impossible.
Pinging from the sp0 interface gives "host unreachable" error also if the other ip address is alive.
Please consider :
a) that I have skipped any radio software simply using virtualized serial lines (VirtualBox) or SOCAT pipes.
b) that exactly the same testbed (same machines, same scripts, same address, same routing) runs correctly if I don't use the -6 option
Please consider also that, differently from the ax0 interface, the sp0 one doesn't show the broadcast address in IPCONFIG (it shows it in IP ADDR)
Please take also into consideration :
1) that the same happens on Fedora21
2) that doing the same from a Debian Wheezy system always generates a Kernel crash (!!) when pinging an "ax25" address from the sp0 interface.
Please let me know if you need further details, but in any case the problem is easily replicable.
Thank-you for your support, regards
73 Ugo
