Currently we're only sending arp requests if we have a route to the target (and, thus, can find out the source ip address). There are some use cases, however, where we don't want/need to set an ip address (or set up a specific route) for bonding to use arp monitoring *for traffic generation*. We can easily send arp probes (arp requests with src ip == 0) to generate arp broadcast responses from the target ip and use them for determining if the target is up. This, obviously, won't work with arp validation - because we don't have the ip address set and, thus, will filter out the responses. So in that case - print a warning.
