This is correct, so it looks like the driver was fixed in the past
years.

I am inclined to change net.agent in the next release, but:
- I fear this may break existing configurations
- I cannot think about any really useful use case for configuring
  tun/tap devices using ifupdown (i.e. a situation which would be
  easier to manage than by just using iproute)
