Proxy arp seems to be broken in the 1.2.x kernels
(And late 80's also)

I believe the error to be here... (or rather, when I changed it arp 
seemed to work)(Proxy arp that is)

                 if (proxy_entry->dev != dev && proxy_entry->htype ==
                 !((proxy_entry->ip^tip)&proxy_entry->mask))

I changed this to

                 if ( proxy_entry->htype ==
                 !((proxy_entry->ip^tip)&proxy_entry->mask))           

And it seems better..
Ideas, thoughts, comments, dumb luck :)
