I noticed a year or so back (maybe longer) that aprx fell foul of a
kernel change which resulted in shorter packets not being sent and the
kernel logging a failure of some kind of minimum length check.

I assume that a sanity check was added in the network stack without
regard to AX.25 but I didn't investigate very deeply. It only seemed to
affect the method which aprx was using; beacon still worked.

I reverted the kernel upgrade and it worked again. I'm no longer using
that system but the SD card image reveals that the last boot was kernel
3.18.16 so that was presumably the one I stuck with.
