+Subject: net: usbnet: Fix the wrong netif_carrier_on() call
+
+From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>
+
+commit 8466d393700f9ccef68134d3349f4e0a087679b9 upstream.
+
+The commit referenced in the Fixes tag causes usbnet to malfunction
+(identified via git bisect). Post-commit, my external RJ45 LAN cable
+fails to connect. Linus also reported the same issue after pulling that
+commit.
+
+The code has a logic error: netif_carrier_on() is only called when the
+link is already on. Fix this by moving the netif_carrier_on() call
+outside the if-statement entirely. This ensures it is always called
+when EVENT_LINK_CARRIER_ON is set and properly clears it regardless
+of the link state.
