I hope to be proven wrong on both Linux and OpenBSD, since both
do apparently document that they can bridge three or more
interfaces.  However, when I tried with each about a year
ago, two interfaces worked fine but I couldn't add a third.
Hopefully, the source code mungers have made progress in the
interim, which would be outtasite!
