The hw address is stored in both the net_device.dev_addr and tun.dev_addr fields. These fields were not kept synchronized, and in fact weren't even initialized to the same value. Now during both init and when performing SIOCSIFHWADDR on the tun device these values are both updated. However, if SIOCSIFHWADDR is performed on the net device directly (for instance, setting the hw address using ifconfig), the tun device does not get updated. Perhaps the tun.dev_addr field should be removed completely at some point, as it is redundant and net_device.dev_addr can be used anywhere it is used.
