You can -'help' it by changing the order of the potential addresses in the structure -found in the pt_init() function so the address of where the card is is put -first. - -After compiling, you have to get them going, they are pretty well like any -other net device and just need ifconfig to get them going. -As an example, here is my /etc/rc.net --------------------------- - -# -# Configure the PackeTwin, port A. -/sbin/ifconfig pt0a 44.136.8.87 hw ax25 vk2xlz mtu 512 -/sbin/ifconfig pt0a 44.136.8.87 broadcast 44.136.8.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 -/sbin/route add -net 44.136.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev pt0a -/sbin/route add -net 44.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 44.136.8.68 dev pt0a -/sbin/route add -net 138.25.16.0 netmask 255.255.240.0 dev pt0a -/sbin/route add -host 44.136.8.255 dev pt0a -# -# Configure the PackeTwin, port B. -/sbin/ifconfig pt0b 44.136.8.87 hw ax25 vk2xlz-1 mtu 512 -/sbin/ifconfig pt0b 44.136.8.87 broadcast 44.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0 -/sbin/route add -host 44.136.8.216 dev pt0b -/sbin/route add -host 44.136.8.95 dev pt0b -/sbin/route add -host 44.255.255.255 dev pt0b - -This version of the driver comes under the GNU GPL.
