i'm sure this is second nature for the experts here, but in
netdevice.h:
/* These flag bits are private to the generic network queueing
* layer; they may not be explicitly referenced by any other
* code.
*/
enum netdev_state_t {
__LINK_STATE_START,
__LINK_STATE_PRESENT,
__LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER,
__LINK_STATE_LINKWATCH_PENDING,
__LINK_STATE_DORMANT,
};
it would be handy to have a short explanation of what each state
represents, perhaps what combinations are possible and how one moves
from one state to another.
