Nope. It times out (in milliseconds, or instantly !) every time. I know
very well what an ARP request is for but why does it work right in Linux
-> Linux ?!

This is not @ home (it is home now, but that is not the point). I can
interpret packets quite well, thanks, I thought that this is a known
problem, and that there is a quick fix. 

What can be done to increase the timeout-propensity of ARP requests under
L95 ?

PS: In the boot files i have configured the packet driver interrupt.
Should I remove it to make the system work with L95's network subsystem ?
