Linux Software
I would start with a linux kernel 2.0.31, and ax25-module-14f.tar.gz.  Apply the patch, configure your kernel.  Build it, build your modules.  Get the net-tools-1.33.tar.gz and the net-tools-1.33.rose.tjd.diff.gz file and patch it before compiling.  Now get the ax25-utils-2.1.42a.tar.gz, compile and install.  That's it!

I realize that 2.0.31 is awfully old, but this combination works.  I suggest you get all your hardware working with this software configuration, THEN, begin experimenting with the newer software.  For the latest AX25 Software check ftp.pspt.fi.

The soundmodem and baycom drivers are included in the kernel sources. Technical details on the soundmodem and baycom drivers and how they interface into the linux kernel are available.

Of course you have to configure your interfaces and the various daemons before you are servicing requests on the air.  undoubtedly, you will forget to configure a hardware interface properly, either a soundcard or a baycom interface.  Eventually, there will be sample configuration files to use as a reference.  For now, consult the AX25-Howto.
