I never had any problem with class B addresses (128.135.12.x).

The arp problem can be fixed by using adb to change the value of
"oldmap" to 0x7fffffff.  The code assumes that if the address is
greater than some value (I forget what) the hardware address can be
obtained by glomming together the first few bytes of your own Ethernet
address and the last two bytes (in the case of a class B network) of
the IP address of the host you're trying to reach.
