NETROM is a OSI layer 3 protocol sitting on top of AX.25. It uses BCD-
encoded 10 digit telephone numbers as addresses. Without this ip will
print a ROSE addresses like
link/rose 12:34:56:78:90 brd 00:00:00:00:00
which is readable but ugly. With this applied it ROSE addresses will be
printed as
link/rose 1234567890 brd 0000000000
