-The ARP monitor relies on the device driver itself to verify
-that traffic is flowing.  In particular, the driver must keep up to
-date the last receive time, dev->last_rx.  Drivers that use NETIF_F_LLTX
-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
-your device driver is not updating last_rx and trans_start.
