Maybe this won't work if an instance of tun is renamed? I'd compare "tun"
with ifp->if_dname (driver name) to be on the safe side.

Because tun instances allow their if_type to be set, one cannot use if_type
as the sole key for determining if the ifnet is of type 'tun'; this would be
ambiguous, as tun instances may have their if_type set by an ioctl.

Another way of dealing with this would be to ask the tcpdump.org guys to
define a DLT type for tun interfaces, rather than special-casing it for
DLT_NULL.
