I'm afraid, your patch makes it worse - with my patch to ppp_generic it 
worked 5 hours before Ir stopped, remaining at 4mbaud, and only discovery 
timer was expiring periodically without actually doing anything; with your 
patch the same happens in about 5 minutes.

I'll double-verify it, and then will try the same work-queue approach, but 
from ppp_generic, rather than from irttp, combining our 2 patches.

Thanks
