we do have some USB net devices, which cannot do ARP. so we can introduce a new flag 
FLAG_NOARP, then client drivers can easily handle these kind of devices

Why did you submit this _4_ times?

I'm deleteing everything, I'm not even going to try and guess why
you submitted this so many times and what might be different between
each copy.

sorry for wrongly use git, I cannot recall them back. There is no
different between them. Anything else I can fix this? Resubmit?
