This is also true if we introduce a function pointer. My last
implementation does not mangle packets in the driver.

That is worth to investigate. Will I get notifications when a ARP/NDISC
will be send or only if the stack received ARP/NDISC packets? However, I
can't see how this will help to get the firewire specific information
into the ARP/NDISC packet. This has to be done either via the suggested
function pointer or your extension of the mac address.
