Re: [lwip-users] Gratuitous ARP Target Hardware Address

[address@hidden]

I think that etharp_request is the wrong function to cahnge: it is 
mainly used for sending real requests (and I think ethzero is correct 
here). Instead, we should update the code which wants to send a 
gratuitous ARP (netif.c only) to use an own function. The current 
implementation is only happening to work (depends on the contents of the 
ARP table) and does far too much.

I've added a bug entry, thanks for reporting.
