From b4174079576aeb811f2aa854be2d32b703a21960 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristof Provost Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 08:26:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bridge.4: describe new MTU behaviour 1865ebfb12 changed if_bridge to have it change the MTU on newly added interfaces to match the if_bridge MTU, rather than rejecting them for having an incorrect MTU. Update the man page to reflect this, as pointed out by woodsb02.
