Subject: Re: [patch net-next 0/4] net: allow to change carrier from userspace


I see that the patchset is in state "Rejected" in patchwork.
Stephen convinced me for a moment that the problem can be handled by operstate.
As it turned out (in last 3-4 emails in thread) operstate use would not
be an option.

So how should I proceed? Should I repost the patchset? Anyone has any other
comments?

thanks.
