I mean that when i'm using ppp2.2.0+kernel2.0.36, after establishing ppp
connection, command arp -anv shows me string like that:
ppp.connected.machine ether :00:34:(mac address of eth0) MP eth0
But with kenel 2.2.1, in the same situation, arp -anv shows
ppp.connected.machine * * MP eth0
so i need to manually add record to arp table.
