[nwam-dev] reason for code

[Anurag S. Maskey]

In ncu_ip.c:nwamd_handle_if_state_event(), what is the reasoning behind 
the following lines of code?  Can't the NCU be in offline*/initializing 
state?

        case NWAM_STATE_OFFLINE_TO_ONLINE:
                if (aux_state != NWAM_AUX_STATE_IF_WAITING_FOR_ADDR &&
                    aux_state != NWAM_AUX_STATE_IF_DHCP_TIMED_OUT) {
                        nlog(LOG_DEBUG, "nwamd_ncu_handle_if_state_event: "
                            "if %s is in invalid aux state %s for IF_STATE "
                            "events", event->event_object,
                            nwam_aux_state_to_string(aux_state));
                        nwamd_event_do_not_send(event);
                        nwamd_object_release(ncu_obj);
                        return;
                }
                break;

The state machine cycles for a very very very long time before the NCU 
comes up.  In my sparc test machine, one of the NCUs is cycling through 
the above code for > 5 minutes and shows no signs of stopping.
