The commit in the Fixes tag breaks my laptop (found by git bisect).
My home RJ45 LAN cable cannot connect after that commit.
The call to netif_carrier_on() should be done when netif_carrier_ok()
is false. Not when it's true. Because calling netif_carrier_on() when
__LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER is not set actually does nothing.
