You should just ignore it. =46WIW, miimon is not going to work with a mac80211-based device at this time. The miimon option relies on support for either miitool or ethtool, and mac80211 device support neither of those. Hmmm...it looks like there is a use_carrier option for miimon. Based on its description I would think it would work. Of course, I think it is supposed to be the default and you don't seem to be disabling it. So, I'm not sure what is happening. Are you enslaving wlan0? Or wmaster0? Make sure it is wlan0. Also, please add use_carrier=3D1 to your bonding module options. Does this change the behaviour? If not, please open a bug at either bugzilla.redhat.com (if you are a Fedora, RHEL, or even CentOS user) or bugzilla.kernel.org (otherwise). In the meantime, you might try using NetworkManger. Or you might consider using ARP monitoring. The former probably is the best solution if you are mobile (e.g. at a cafe or other hotspot) while the latter might be appropriate if you are just plugging and un-plugging within the same network (like at home or office).
