From: Pierre Le Magourou <plemagourou@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When disabling tethering after having enabled it, the ath6kl driver does not set the IFF_LOWER_UP flag to 0 (carrier off) on the wlan interface. The upper layers (eg. connman) are not notified of the tethering mode status change. So, tethering can not be activated anymore. This patch adds a netif_carrier_off() call when stopping AP mode to fix the problem.
