packet_get_addr() is meant to retrieve the ip address of an ethernet device by issueing the appropriate ioctl() (SIOCGIFADDR). The result of the request is stored in ifr (of type struct ifreq) by ioctl(). Before the result is copied to the variable the pointer addr points to, packet_get_addr() checks if the address family of the retrieved address is correct. Now, the error is that ifr.if_broadaddr is accessed for this test rather than ifr.if_addr. This way, the test will always fail, since if_broadaddr isn't set by the ioctl SIOCGIFADDR.

This problem does not exist in tap_get_addr(), which is the equivalent of this function for tap devices.
