You can configure lwIP to behave like that, but it's not a good idea to
do so as it
a) is a security issue and
b) can have a large performance impact as every incoming packet leads to
scanning the ARP table for a hit to update.
You should enable ARP_QUEUEING instead (define it to 1 in lwipopts.h) so
that the outgoing SYN is buffered by lwIP until the ARP response is
received. 1.4.0rc2 does this automatically.
