Problem Description:
bonding module cannot enslave ethernet devices provided by sunhme - link status is never reported via netif_carrier_on/netif_carrier_off which makes sunhme not usable as a slave to the bonding module
Steps to reproduce:
modprobe sunhme
modprobe bonding
ifconfig bond0 up
ifconfig eth0 up
# wait for link to be up
ifenslave bond0 eth0
# bond0 never comes up and keeps waiting for link
