>Description:
When dialing out using the sppp driver from /sys/net/if_spppsubr.c
with authentication enabled, the NCP layer (IPCP, IPCPv6, ...)
gets Up events from the LCP layer (which it shouldn't) and
from the AUTH layer (which it should) resulting in an "illegal
up" log message when authentication finishes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Dial out using an sppp line with some authentication enabled.
The LCP layer finishes in phase authenticate, but generates an
ipcp Up event nonetheless, which is wrong. The authentication
protocol itself generates Open and Up events for the Network
Control Protocols, which generate the abovementioned error log
message.
>Fix:
It turns out this is a simple case of mistaken operator
precedence. Apply the patch below and the message goes away:
