From 29ab5a3b94c87382da06db88e96119911d557293 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 08:16:20 -0200 Subject: ehea: fix operation state report Currently the ehea driver is missing a call to netif_carrier_off() before the interface bring-up; this is necessary in order to initialize the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit in the net_device state field. Otherwise, we observe state UNKNOWN on "ip address" command output. This patch adds a call to netif_carrier_off() on ehea's net device open callback.
