Disk is cheap. Waiting for the whole damn thing to rebuild after
switching branches and back again is less so.

the hardware needs to have NvRegPacketFilterFlags set to

The recent patch that added ipv6_hwtype is broken on tuntap tunnels.
Indeed, it's broken on any device that does not pass the ipv6_hwtype

The reason is that the original test only applies to autoconfiguration,
