This is because polling doesn't work while the interface is set down. As I said previously, I think that's previously been buggy too, if you did 1) hard kill 2) set interface down 3) hard unkill then step 3) would not trigger an event to userspace until you set the interface up again, afaict. We probably need to bring up the core to poll it, if possible? johannes
