 /*
  *  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
  *
  *  Mark Smith <markzzzsmith@yahoo.com.au>
- *   Use random_ether_addr() for tap MAC address.
+ *    Use random_ether_addr() for tap MAC address.
  *
  *  Harald Roelle <harald.roelle@ifi.lmu.de>  2004/04/20
  *    Fixes in packet dropping, queue length setting and queue wakeup.
