AX.25
=====

To use the amateur radio protocols within Linux you will need to get a
suitable copy of the AX.25 Utilities. More detailed information about
AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE, associated programs and utilities can be
found on https://linux-ax25.in-berlin.de.

There is a mailing list for discussing Linux amateur radio matters
called linux-hams@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to it, send a message to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org with the words "subscribe linux-hams" in the body
of the message, the subject field is ignored.  You don't need to be
subscribed to post but of course that means you might miss an answer.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

[NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years. I've replaced it with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate information. o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y. AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it. I hope this gets Linux distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled. The price for this would be very small. o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are meant to do. o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting. Use just help. o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language to Kconfig for consistency. o Fixup dependencies.
