Now pppoatm_send(), like vcc_sendmsg(), checks for vcc flags that
indicate that vcc is not ready.

I note that vcc_sendmsg() also checks for sock->state == SS_CONNECTED.
Is that check not needed here? Otherwise, looks sane enough.

I don't think so. We never leave SS_CONNECTED state. This check is
done in vcc_sendmsg() because it's called from userspace.

However maybe we should check socket state before assigning vcc to
pppoatm (untested):

Thanks.
