- Subject: 386bsd-0.1 patches for ax.25 in the kernel
-
- I've made available my patches for adding AX.25 as a native protocol in the
- 386BSD-0.1 kernel, along with modified utilities.
-
- This is NOT a complete system. I'm releasing this in its chaotic
- incomplete state in the hopes that some of you who are Unix kernel
- hackers will be able to take up where I left off.
-
- What works:
- IP over AX.25
- AX.25 connection establishment and knockdown
- AX.25 datagrams
- one KISS interface
-
- What doesn't work:
- AX.25 routing
- AX.25 stream mode sockets
- ARP
- interface configuration
-
- A lot of the code that doesn't work yet is stubbed to enable the rest of
- the system to boot and run. You can, as it stands, connect a KISS TNC,
- telnet to another ham host, ftp, mail, etc. But the addresses are
- hard-coded.
-
- I wish I'd had an opportunity to finish this, but personal matters
- simply don't permit me to proceed. I don't want to see this code go to
- waste, so here it is. Enjoy.
-
- I dunno how much work it will be to port it to BSDI or NetBSD or FreeBSD
- or any of the later versions. All these changes were made to the
- original 0.1 Jolitz release.
-
- I can answer a few general questions about what I've done, and the
- philosophy thereof, but keep in mind it's been nearly a year since I've
- worked on the code itself, so don't ask for details. Do expect bugs.
-
- Have fun!
- - Brian
