The userspace may need to control the carrier state.

Hi Nicolas

Hi Andrew,

Could you explain your user case a bit more.

Are you running a routing daemon on top of the interface, and want it
to reroute when the carrier goes down?

Sort of, we have a daemon that monitors the app and may re-route the traffic to
a secondary app if needed.

O.K, this sounds sensible.

It is often useful to explain the use case for changes like
this. People try to do crazy things sometimes.

Thanks
