Hi,

Yes, this is what I wanted to propose (but my english is not very clear) : 
"More, the task receiving packets call etharp_ip_input if ETHARP_TRUST_IP_MAC 
is defined (and it's always call etharp_arp_input for ARP packets - I think 
that most of the code in "ethernetif_input" would have to be moved in the 
"netif->input")."

That alone won't help, since etharp_arp_input() is called from network driver 
context if ARP packets are received!

My solution to that problem was to pass all received packets including ARP to 
the tcpip-thread which does the processing of IP- AND ARP-packets. This way, 
all access to the ARP layer is done in tcpip-thread context.
