IMHO you should pass a reference to int as 3d arg, not literal "1":
int one = 1;
ioctl(fd, TUNSETNOCSUM, &one);

Linux? It works for me:
s0 = socket(PF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);
if (s0<0)
perror ("socket");
ret = ioctl(s0, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr);
if (ret < 0)
perror("set flags");
I think that if SIOCGIFFLAGS succeeds on some fd, then SIOCSIFFLAGS
should also succeed or return an error. So this is a kernel bug.
Can you check it on different OSes?
