At least the way some networks are run this is incorrect. You've just killed AX.25 support for networks that do assume the same callsign on a different frequency is a different connection. This should at least have a sysctl to switch the behaviour.
The whole notion of an AX.25 routing flap is mildly amusing given that AX.25 isnt routed but is a link layer point to point protocol with a broadcast datagram hack attached. I know people do it just like they "route" netbeui but the default behaviour ought to reflect the AX.25 standard document and do the link layer checks.
