Subject: Problem with ARPING broadcasting

New version of ARPing commited at 2010-04-12 by YOSHIFUJI Hideaki has a problem with sending proper network packet's - broadcast address isn't ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff but ff:XX:ff:XX:00:XX ( where XX is current device MAC fragments ). 

That cause a problem, that not all devices respond to that arp-broadcast. 

I've attached small patchfile to solving this problem.
