    [PATCH] Restore PPP filtering · aa524be4
    Paul Mackerras authored
    Karsten Keil's patch entitled "[ISDN]: Fix kernel PPP/IPPP active/passiv
    filter code" that went in back in April was an attempt to solve a real
    problem - namely that the libpcap maintainers have removed useful
    functionality that pppd was using - but his fix broke existing pppd
    binaries and IMO didn't end up actually solving the problem.
    
    This patch reverts the change to ppp_generic.c so that existing pppd
    binaries work again.  I am going to have to work out a proper fix, which
    may involve further changes to ppp_generic.c, but I will make sure existing
    pppd binaries still work.
