Hello!

Because instead of:

> ppp.connected.machine ether :00:34:(mac address of eth0) MP eth0

it shows:

> ppp.connected.machine * * MP eth0

which is equivalent.

BTW it is also redundant, because it is easier to disable proxy arp
in pppd options, and to say instead:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
