  4. Subject: [PATCH 2/2] netdev-linux: Let interface flag survive internal port
  5. setup
  6. Due to a race condition when bringing up an internal port on Linux
  7. some interface flags (e.g. IFF_MULTICAST) are falsely reset. This
  8. happens because netlink events may be processed after the according
  9. netdev has been brought up (which sets interface flags).
  10. Fix this by reading the interface flags just before updating them
  11. if they have not been updated by from the kernel yet.
