2) Is there a way to set this interface flag without assigning an IPv4 address (or any address for that matter) first?
Mainly for number two, I would like to be able to run interfaces bridged together without having to also give all of them addresses.
please try the attached (untested!) patch. it should set iff_running flag on the interface as soon as the control device is opened.
