In the default settings, an bge interface announces TXCSUM capabilities, but only supports TCP/IPv4 and not UDP/IPv4 due to limitations of some of the NICs. This results in problems when the bge interface becomes a member of a bridge. Since currently only the TXCSUM capabilities are synced when a member is added to a bridge and not the protocol specific capabilities, this can result in a situation where UDP packets are sent out using a bge interface without having a correct checksum. To mitigate this problem, initially don't announce TXCSUM capabilities, when UDP transmit checksum is disabled. It is still possible to enable TXCSUM capabilities via ifconfig.
