If you are not actually wanting to run IP over AX.25 you can omit the
IP address. I'm not sure if that will solve your wireless problem but is
probably worth a try.

Also, if you want the interface to come up automatically you can add it
to /etc/network interfaces using something like:

auto ax0
iface ax0 inet manual
        # Bind to the port.
        hwaddress ax25 NOCALL-1
        # Create the port before starting the iface.
        pre-up kissattach /dev/ttyAMA0 1
        # Delete the port after stopping the iface. Make sure that it dies
        # and lock file is removed.
        post-down pkill kissattach || pkill -9 kissattach ; rm -f /var/lock/LCK..ttyAMA0
