[PATCH] [ROSE] ax25_send_frame() called with a constant paclen = 260

[Bernard Pidoux]

Hi,

In rose_link.c ax25_send_frame() was called with a constant paclen 
parameter of 260 bytes.
This value looked odd to me for it did not correspond to any defined or 
possible computed length.Replacing this value by 0 (zero) allowed 
ax25_send_frame() to substitute it by the default AX25 frame size, which 
in turn induced significant results on the AX25 frame fragmentation and 
removed some garbage trailing characters in AX25 frames sent.
