Re: [PATCH] [BRIDGE] Set features based on slave's ones (was Ethernet Bridging: Enable Hardware Checksumming)

[Jon Mason <jdmason@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch only enables the features which are common between all of the 
bridged devices (at the time of their addition to the bridge).  It overlooks 
the cases where not all of the adapters have the same features, or where the 
user has changed the enablement of a certain feature (via ethtool).  

Thanks,
Jon
