I'd like to see the ARP queueing behavior fixed before we start making it more generic.
Wikipedia says the following about ARP: Arp "is also used for IP over other LAN technologies, such as Token Ring, FDDI, or IEEE 802.11, and for IP over ATM." Those are what I would consider more niche technologies, not really in general use, EXCEPT for the 802.11(wifi). I would find it a compelling change to make in order to make lwIP applicable for use on wifi links. I'm not really familiar with the link layer interfaces used for the 802.11, so I can't really speak to how easily it could be supported with our current code base, though. Hopefully someone will chime in and educate me.
