Except that this has nothing to do with the purpose of bridge-utils, if
it were a general problem we would enable such a feature for all
interfaces.
If the STP is disabled there is no reason to wait, so in this case
$MAXWAIT should default to zero instead of wasting 30 seconds.

I am aware of the behaviour of switch ports when they have STP enabled
without portfast, but again this is unrelated to bridge-utils.
