Looks good.

Oh yes, that's something sppp would also benefit from.  Currently, i'm
abusing IFF_RUNNING to remember the hardware state.  (For ISDN
autodialing lines, the line is only brought up when traffic arrives,
for the remaining time, the hardware is `down' although the interface
is ready to accept packets, thus IFF_UP needs to be set.  In
retrospect, i could have found a better solution instead.)
