[tproxy] Does TPROXY work on a bridge without IP address?

Thanks Panther. Are there any plans to let TPROXY work in this request?

Because in some environment, IP address can not be assigned on the bridge.
If we need to put the linux box at the front of internet gateway, there will
be no IP address assigned.
