Hi,

Please don't hold back comments, no matter how small.  I want to be able
to avoid those problems in future patches!

As far as I know arp is not used with PPP since it is only a point to
point link.  Also, <linux/ppp_defs.h> does not have any definition for arp
as a ppp payload (like it does for IP and IPv6).

I will make the changes you requested regarding the return statements and
resubmit.

Thanks!

Mike
