in net/core/dev.c, there're codes to copy between dev->dev_{addr,broadcast} and ifr_hwaddr.sa_data (points sockaddr{} sized 16).
Well, we have code for it. :-) Please look at <http://www2.linux-ipv6.org/cvsweb/usagi/kernel/linux24/net/core/dev.c.diff?r1=1.1.1.12&r2=1.4>
BTW, why don't we have SIOCGIFHWBROADCAST??
