it was me. arcnet driver is available at http://iclub.nsu.ru/~fjoe
unfortunately i do not have time to deal with it now.
hope i will have some in near future.

btw i'd be happy if someone took a look at those ARP code changes.
With those changes committed it would be easier to merge this driver
(at least to -current) as our current implementation is ethernet-specific.
just look at token ring hacks in if_ether.c -- i do not want to add more 
hacks for arcnet.
