tcpdump and no carrier

Hello,

  Everytime I run tcpdump on a re interface ifconfig shows it as being 
no carrier. When I stop tcpdump the interface comes back again (on 
6.0-beta5).

  I've seen a similar behaviour with 'ifconfig alias' and a em card. 
Everytime I added a IP the kernel would warn me that the interface was 
down then up (that was on 5.4-stable).

  I found it a bit curious..
