The corresponding linux Ethernet interface is called the master interface.
All other corresponding linux interfaces are called slave interfaces.
-The slave interfaces depend on the master interface. They can only brought up,
-when the master interface is up.
+The slave interfaces depend on the master interface being up in order for them
+to send or receive traffic. Prior to kernel v5.12, the state of the master
+interface had to be managed explicitly by the user. Starting with kernel v5.12,
