Yes, I understand. Bridges, I believe, do a suitable AND operation of the carriers for encompassed ports. Switches are more difficult and depend on driver behaviour. It would be appropriate for switch drivers to also do a logical AND of relevant physical port's carriers. But those are the details. I was enquiring about the basic principle in the first instance. There is no current mechanism for dhcpc (or other) activity on carrier down/up? I saw a patch for uevent to handle interface carrier events, but it doesn't seem to have stuck?
