  Hi Tom,

  I got it working with systemd-216-7.fc21.x86_64 and configuration very
similar to what you have provided.  I only have additional Local=… setting in
[Tunnel] section of he.netdev.

  It works, but configuration is counter-intuitive for me.  The need to 
put Tunnel=… in physical device (wlp3s0) configuration file is perplexing.
First, iproute2 does not require physical device when configuring SIT
tunnels.  
Second, I had to enter IP address twice - first for the physical device, 
second time for Local= in tunnel config.  It's kinda redundant, but I
see you have no Local= settings, so maybe the redundancy was fixed.
And third, I was expecting ”he” device to be top-level, independent
device just like ”wlp3s0” is.  Right now the Tunnel= keyword makes
it dependant on physical device, which is more limiting and contrary
to what iproute2 made me used to in the past 15 years.
