The userspace monitoring dÃmon uses an ioctl to tell the kernel when the
link goes up or down. The driver then sets atm_dev->signal to
ATM_PHY_SIG_{FOUND,LOST} which prevents pppd from attempting to dial up
while there's no link.
And even if it were purely cosmetic -- it's so simple it might as well
be done in the kernel anyway, surely?
