I'm writing this pseudo driver with lots of interfaces. Each interface can
be configured to work with a variety of protocols. Currently I'm working on
the connection to the PPP protocol.

My problem is that when you get the first CONF_REQ message, the driver's
state is INITIAL.
The call to the RCR function return with the value 1 but, no one changes the
state to STATE_ACK_SENT. I think the fix should be like this (line 1274):
....
rv = (cp->RCR)(sp, h, len);
/* Daniel - fix */
if (rv && sp->state[cp->protoidx] == STATE_INITIAL)
sppp_cp_change_state(cp, sp, STATE_ACK_SENT);
sp->rst_counter[cp->protoidx] = sp->lcp.max_configure;
/* End of fix */
switch (sp->state[cp->protoidx]) {
case STATE_OPENED:
...
