Ok, then I don't think this is really a laptop-net bug at all.  The kernel
shouldn't have to set its interface in promisc mode in order for laptop-net
to receive responses to arp inquiries, and this seems to be a bug specific
to your network config (or firewall config?), which is why I can't reproduce
it.

If the new version of libpcap works around this issue, updating laptop-net
to the new libpcap sounds to me like it would be an ok change for etch, but
this no longer appears to be RC in nature.
