ARP is completely independant of both Ethernet and and Internet Protocol. ARP provides an abstract protocol to translate layer-3 protocol addresses to layer-2 media addresses using broadcast traffic. One of the major problem's with FreeBSD's implementation is that it only works with ethernet devices, and only for IP. - Steve -- C.
