I have a network namespace named name1. I executed the command "ip netns exec name1 ip tuntap add mode tap name tap0". I see the creation of tap0 through netlink message. I executed "ip netns exec name1 ifconfig tap0 up". I still see the interface status as "down" for tap0 in the netlink message. But for the loopback interface in the same namespace, I see the status shown correctly through netlink.
I am using libnl cache manager to get the updates through netlink.
Any idea why the message is wrong only for tap interfaces?
