Hi,

I don't use netrom as it was causing segfaults at one stage and as no  
one around here uses netrom anymore I stopped.

however just out of curiosity I had a look

firstly
modprobe netrom
then
root@ns1:~# cat /etc/ax25/nrports
# /etc/ax25/nrports
#
# The format of this file is:
#
# name callsign alias paclen description
#
netrom  EI7IG-14 #TMRE  235     Switch Port
netnod  EI7IG-1  TMRE   235     Node
root@ns1:~# nrattach -i 44.155.6.12 -m 236 netrom
NET/ROM port netrom bound to device nr0
root@ns1:~# ifconfig nr0
nr0       Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM  HWaddr EI7IG-14
           inet addr:44.155.6.12  Mask:255.0.0.0
           UP RUNNING NOARP  MTU:236  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
