You have missed the whole point here... please look at dmesg output, I 
have bolded what you should pay attention to. It should say "entering 
disabled state" instead of "entering forwarding state".

However I do agree with you and Stephen that it should say "entered" and 
not "entering". I will send you patch changing this.

I will also resend this patch with better description.
