Wrong "operstate" status on Emulex OneConnect card using be2net on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8.

Issue

• The operstate of some of the 10GbE interfaces are incorrect. The interfaces are online and working (traffic is passing), but still the operstate is unknown.

Eg:

# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond*
