/*
* Changes:
*
+ * Brian Braunstein <linuxkernel@bristyle.com> 2007/03/23
+ * Fixed hw address handling. Now net_device.dev_addr is kept consistent
+ * with tun.dev_addr when the address is set by this module.
+ *
* Mike Kershaw <dragorn@kismetwireless.net> 2005/08/14
* Add TUNSETLINK ioctl to set the link encapsulation
