Resend. Hopefully Thunderbird won't screw this time.

By default, tun.c running in TUN_TUN_DEV mode will set the protocol of packet
to IPv4 if TUN_NO_PI is set. My program failed to work when I assumed that
the driver will check the first nibble of packet, determine IP version and set
the appropriate protocol.
