Yes - with the TUNSIFMODE ioctl. This is different from how OpenBSD
does it (where our struct tuninfo has a ``dummy'' field, OpenBSDs has
a ``flags'' field where you put IFF_* bits). Of course NetBSD
doesn't even have a tuninfo struct - it uses an ioctl (SIOCSIFMTU) to
set the tun mtu....
And what the hell is struct tuninfo's ``bandwidth'' variable supposed
to be used for anyway ?
What a mess. We need a ``BSD standards development'' committee !
