that traffic is flowing.  In particular, the driver must keep up to

date the last receive time, dev->last_rx, and transmit start time,

dev->trans_start.  If these are not updated by the driver, then the

flag must also update netdev_queue->trans_start.  If they do not, then the

ARP monitor will immediately fail any slaves using that driver, and

those slaves will stay down.  If networking monitoring (tcpdump, etc)

shows the ARP requests and replies on the network, then it may be that
