Hi, all

We should make it compatible. So I made a patch to turn on carrier on this bridge interface when the last sub interface is removed.

Hi, David

Please make tests with this latest patch. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards!
Zhu Yanjun

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.
