I cannot believe this. How many boards do you have connected, how
often o they boot, and how much ARP traffic do you really have on
your net?
Yes, there may be some ARP traffic, but it should nbever be a
noticable network load.

Ummm... no. We are focussed on development. If U-Boot causes real
problems in a development environment we have to address this, too.
But ARP? I cannot imagine that this is a real problem.
