Subject[PATCH RESEND] 2.[46]: Set ARP hw type correctly for BOOTP over FDDI
Hello,

Using the Ethernet ARP hw type for FDDI networks is mandated by RFC 1390
(STD 36) and that code is already used by Linux elsewhere, but not for
BOOTP requests sent for IPv4 autoconfiguration. Here is a patch for both
2.4 and 2.6 that fixes the problem for me. Please apply.

Applies both to 2.4.27 and to 2.6.8.1.

Maciej
