Due to checksum offloading, the checksum field of a packet must be zero before sending it to packet to the ethernet controller, otherwise the computed checksum will be incorrect.

If the packet is bridged, it already has the correct checksum in place, which will cause the automatically computed checksum to incorrectly become zero.

In this patch we give bridged packets the special attention they need.
