They're not *supposed* to be the same; "Hardware src addr" is supposed to show
the resolved address if MAC-layer address resolution is enabled and the
unresolved address if it's not enabled.  "Enabled" and "disabled" here mean
enabled or disabled by the preferences file, the "-n" or "-N" flags, or the
"Name resolution" item in the View menu.

If that doesn't work, that's a bug.

"Source address" and "destination address" fields should show the network
address if the packet *has* a network address and the MAC address if the packet
doesn't have a network address.

If that doesn't work, that's a bug.  (It works in at least one capture I have;
ARP packets show the MAC source and destination address, and DHCP and OSPF
packets show the IPv4 source and destination addresses.

The "XXX (resolved)" versus "XXX" issues are as above.
