/sys/class/net/<interface>/operstate for an active qeth network interface offen shows "unknown", which translates to "state UNKNOWN in output of "ip link show". It is caused by a missing initialization of the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit in the net_device state field. This patch adds a netif_carrier_off() invocation when creating the net_device for a qeth device.
