I've got a little driver that communicates via a small buffer on the

Ethernet interface.
I'd be interested in using this.
arplookup 169.254.101.2 failed: could not allocate llinfo
arpresolve: can't allocate route for 169.254.101.2
The Linux driver I'm porting simply grabbed any outgoing arp requests,
made up an appropriate response with the pre-defined fake MAC's, put it
into the input queue and ate the request packet.
A quick-and-dirty work-around would seem to be
arp -s 169.254.101.2 Fa:ke:ma:cA:dd:re:ss
Otherwise, I think you would need to fiddle with the transmit packet
code in your driver.
