  Here is a patch that adds fragmenting, largely based on whats in
  OpenBSD. I didnt bring over bridge_send_icmp_err() as we can only get a
  large packet to fragment by reassembling a previous fragment, checking
  for DF and sending an icmp doesnt apply to us.
  
  Can I get a review, esp. the traversal of the mbufs.
  
  
  cheers,

I should have a chance to test this support this week, thanks for working
on it.  Could someone possibly produce a patch to force if_bridge to 
recalculate the checksum on every packet so I can test that as well?
To me, the extra load on the firewall is less important than breaking
packets I am trying to pass.
