I don't think that's right, at least I hope it's not right, it's certainly
not the intention. The intention is that only data packets (PPP protocol
numbers < 0x8000) count as link activity.
I just looked at the source for the new driver in linux-2.3.x and it looks
OK to me. The one in 2.2.x also looks OK. If anyone can produce the
wrong behaviour repeatably (and you have checked with tcpdump that you are
not getting any unexpected IP traffic) let me know and I'll look into it.
