properly implemented.

A non-exhaustive list of features that could be listed as supported, but
not working are jumbo frames (large MTU), hardware VLAN tagging, and
checksum offload. In the case of the last two, a driver can claim to
support these, but if the underlying bits in ifnet structure are not set,
nothing will happen. Another example is that a driver could just always
set that the checksum is valid, even when it is not. In most cases, this
won't be noticed, and with many protocols doing their own verification
(ssh and TLS), it will just result in a dropped connection, but in other
cases it will cause data corruption.

As part of this project, two sets of patches were developed, one is the
