Another question related with ixp4xx_hss... Why do you create network
interfaces instead of character devices? Would it not be more general to
use these lasts (ppp over these could create the network interfaces)?

Well, I guess I just need network interfaces, not char devices.
PPP can of course create network interfaces, but it supports only PPP
protocol (and interface to generic PPP is in the works). Now the thing
supports Cisco HDLC, PPP, Frame-Relay, Ethernet-in-HDLC and X.25/LAPB.
