net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem

2026-04-23T17:24:02+00:00

Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree. This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to protect our sanity. The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo: https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back. Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP, AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN) so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

net: ax25: remove plumbing for never-implemented DAMA Master support

2026-01-31T03:19:39+00:00

The AX25_DAMA_MASTER option has been unimplemented and marked broken ever since it was introduced in 2007 in commit 954b2e7f4c37 ("[NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes"). At this point, it is very unlikely it will be implemented. Remove it.

net: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-04-08T10:56:56+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers requiring them. For the DEFXX driver the use of I/O ports is optional and we only need to fence specific code paths. It also turns out that with HAS_IOPORT handled explicitly HAMRADIO does not need the !S390 dependency and successfully builds the bpqether driver.

AX.25 Kconfig: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-07-13T19:34:06+00:00

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

[NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes

2007-03-26T01:48:02+00:00

o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years. I've replaced it with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate information. o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y. AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it. I hope this gets Linux distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled. The price for this would be very small. o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are meant to do. o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting. Use just help. o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language to Kconfig for consistency. o Fixup dependencies. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
