Subject: Re: If bridge have no sub-interfaces, it's status may be still with 'RUNNING'
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:51:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150216115137.5aa3f0cd@uryu.home.lan> (raw)

Originally bridge code would start with carrier off,
but there were users using bridge as a form of dummy device
and this broke them. Therefore it was decided (like 5 yrs ago),
that bridge should start with carrier on.
