ifconfig error at SuSE 6.1, kernel 2.2.7

[Ottar Kvindesland]

I have some problems with setting up my YAM modem. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated:

root@shack:/home/la9iha > /sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
root@shack:/home/la9iha/ham/yam/yamdrv > ./yamcfg yam0 io 0x2f8 irq 3
... OK
root@shack:/home/la9iha/ham/yam/yamdrv > ifconfig yam0 hw ax25
la9iha-8 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error
root@shack:/home/la9iha/ham/yam/yamdrv >

Kernel parametres from make menuconfig. All blank except:

[*] Amateur Radio support
<*> Amateur Radio AX.25 Level 2
<*> Serial port KISS driver for AX.25
<*> BAYCOM ser12 half duplex driver for AX.25
<*> YAM driver for AX.25
