A network interface can get ARP packets even when the interface has
NOARP specified. In a HiperSockets environment this disturbs receiving
systems when packets are sent on the multicast queue. (E.g. TCP/IP on
z/VM issues messages reporting invalid data on the HiperSockets
interface.)
Qeth will no longer send ARP packets on HiperSockets interface when
interface has the NOARP attribute.
