Interesting.. I think I tested this with 2.6.8.1 which is newer than
2.6.8-rc3.. In addition, I remember verifying that the
netif_carrier_on() is being called; although this might have been only
for client modes. Then again, that LinkStatus even should be arriving
also in Master mode.

I will need to take a bit closer look at this.
