Description

See https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/

The ifconfig(8) utility will no longer accept assigning IP addresses to the underlying member interfaces of a bridge(4). To temporarily bypass this safeguard, use the net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs sysctl(8). This sysctl is expected to be removed in FreeBSD 16.

This will need to be reconsidered after 25.11. For now, we can set the tunable.
