Changes to the Linux kernel over the years have improved and modernized the
kernel, but have also made existing AX.25 implementations incompatible and
turned preexisting issues into bugs. This can make systems unpredictable or
even unusable. Linux kernel development is complex, requiring deep specialized
knowledge, and bugs are hard to trace. This may be one of the reasons, why the
Linux kernel AX.25 stack is currently in such a bad state.
This ARDC grant funds will allow the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club to hire
software developers who can create a stable Linux AX.25 implementation and
prevent Linux distributions from dropping pre-compiled AX.25 support. The fixed
and functional Kernel-AX.25 stack will improve global amateur radio
infrastructure. Professional kernel development can bring Linux AX.25 back to
life.
