    share/man/man4       if_bridge.4 
  Log:
  Add code that clears certain capabilities from the member interface, these are
  restored when its removed from the bridge.
  
  At the moment we only clear IFCAP_TXCSUM. Since a locally generated packet on
  the bridge may be sent out any one or more interfaces it cant be assumed that
  every card does hardware csums. Most bridges don't generate a lot of traffic
  themselves so turning off offloading won't hurt, bridged packets are
  unaffected.
