Clearly, you cannot use Linux interfaces anywhere else other than the synthetic target. On a real target you can only use the BSD stack, which is quite different from Linux in this area. But why do you want to send ARP requests at all? The BSD stack has its own ARP support already built in, there is no reason for applications to do their own ARP processing. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect eCosCentric Limited http://www.eCosCentric.com/ The eCos experts Barnwell House, Barnwell Drive, Cambridge, UK.
