Patch to treat UNKNOWN as a connected state

When I connect to internet via my E303 modem for some reason the state of the
ppp0 interface is set to UNKNOWN.

> 6: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast 
> state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 3
>     link/ppp 

Under Linux, gpodder checks the output of "ip link" to determine if there is a
valid net connection where the state has to be "UP", and this cause it to think
that I'm not connected to internet.


I'm not sure is it's a good/right thing to treat the UNKNOWN state of the
interface as connected, but that's the only way I can see how I can get it to
work (as in the patch attached).
