Please use the macros specifying the interface.

The naming might be misleading.

Race condition. You must free the skb before you wake the queue.

Is this really needed? If so, please add a comment.

Does it make sense to start rx while you have no carrier?

a bit wasteful

Please use the correct macro to specify the interface you are interested in

is this check needed?
