Yes, I mean test13-pre[12134567] and other older versions too.
I've already had the problem some time ago with an older 2.4.0-testxx kernel.
I don't think it is directly related to the ax25 stuff but maybe (?) a timer
modified elsewhere ?

Possible too. These compilers problems (which one for which kernel) are a bit
boring...  Anyway, I've downloaded the correct version of the compiler and
retried the operation.

[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)

The result is the same than with the other compiler.

Ok, so the problem lies deeper. Could you take a guess at the version that
worked (say 2.2.17?) and the first one that stopped working (say 2.4.0-test1?)...
Once we have a rough range, I'll see if I can find anything.

Also: I assume you have PROC_FS compiled. What does /proc/net/z8530drv
contain before and after the failed packet TX attempt?

And: Can you receive any packets?

Is the "previous test version" you talk about 2.4.0-test13-pre7?  There
weren't any changes since then that could explain this, except maybe:

The minimum required gcc for 2.4 is now 2.91.66. However, AFAIK 2.95.5 was
considered suspect at one point.

2.4.0-prerelease, AX25 problems

[f5ibh]

Hi and Happy New Year,

I've just compiled and tested 2.4.0-prerelease. My AX25 (hamradio) system does
not work with this new release. There is a timing problem. When a fram is sent
on the air, the frame is VERY long (switched off by the watchdog of my drsi
card) and contains no data. On this point of vue, the previous test version was
right.

My system :
-----------
