[U-Boot-Users] ARP request packet size

[Dominique bastien]

Most of the network device contains a bit to configure
padding or not padding (it's why network stack doesn't
do anything for that).  Try to find inside Linux or
BSD a reference implementation of your chipset, it's
useful when you write a network driver for the first
time.
