I'm running Sarge. I looked in the /lib/modules tree. I see a bunch of ax25
stuff. I've never had an interest in ham radio. The stuff is just there.
I doubt very much that the original poster will have to compile a kernel
to get ax25 working. He just needs to use the appropriate stock kernel-image
for his hardware. So I recommend:
Get Debian working on your computer.
Install the modules that you mentioned in your email.
If you have error messages or complaints during the install, ask for help again.
