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. Tested by: Bruce Walker (bmw borderware.com) MFC after: 5 days
