I get the "port 'radio' not configured" message in any ax25 software, the interface is no longer up in ifconfig, and so on. When it's up, it works fine with no problems for transmit and receive, in both xastir and digi_NED. I can bring the interface up by 'killall kissattach' and re-doing it... but this is clearly suboptimal.
