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.
