The way I think, when the IFF_AUTOUP flag is set, the interface will try to "up" itself (which will also "up" the ethernet device) before rejecting the packet, though.
But how can the PPP interface "up" the ethernet interface if it doesn't know which IP address to use for the ethernet interface (192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2 or DHCP or maybe something totally different)? The current netstack doesn't have any configuration files, so just doing an "up" on an ethernet interface won't work.
