This version of the utilities will only work with kernel
revisions 2.1.42 and higher, or 2.0.30+module13 or higher.
or 2.0.x (with patch). This is a fact of life for all Amateur Radio related
programs. I have heard recently that the upstream guys will no longer be
supporting 2.0.x patches for the utilities, does this mean we kill off the
ax25-utils (and anything else that touches the ax25 sockets?)
