Oops, then drop my message. I'm not fluent with anything other
than ppp(8). I just read "how to get the if address (most
probably for routing corrections / additions) with dyn ips" and
confused it with what I have here -- since I could never imagine
why I should do PPP in kernel space.
Where can I read more about the reasoning to use kernel space ppp
except for "doing what I got used to do" or "I don't care, both
suffice and one of them is smaller"? What are the advantages?
Is it that more efficient in scenarios userland ppp cannot handle
any longer? There must be a reason to "buy" the lower
functionality ... (no intent to flush isp or to discourage its
authors, but the will to learn the motivation)
