2026-04-23net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystemJakub Kicinski
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.

2025-10-21net: 6pack: Demote "How to turn on 6pack support" section headingBagas Sanjaya
"How to turn on 6pack support" is a subsection of "Building and installing the 6pack driver". Yet, the former is in the same heading level as the latter as sections, making it listed in networking docs toctree. Demote it to subsection.
