Arp difficulties

I am developing a device driver for a custom on board ethernet driver on a new
custom PPC board. The difficulty seems to be occuring on arp requests. After
configuring the eth0 device and then attempting to send it an arp request, the
device passes the packet to the arp.c(arp_rcv) function, where it tests for
arp_hln and arp_pln. Both of these are at 0xff instead of the correct values.
Where are the skb->hn.arp->arp_hln and pln initialized? I was unable to gleem
this information from the source code. There might very well be missing
binary/configuration files as well as an incorrectly configured kernel. TIA.
