Subject: [087/103] b44: fix carrier detection on bind

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Paul Fertser <fercerpav@...il.com>

commit bcf64aa379fcadd074449cbf0c049da70071b06f upstream.

For carrier detection to work properly when binding the driver with a cable
unplugged, netif_carrier_off() should be called after register_netdev(),
not before.
