Old arping package. I have upgraded arping now, and it runs properly.

I have now commented everything in /etc/qemu-ifup. ifconfig -a output,
after starting qemu with cd-image.iso:

Still tap1 gets created. From another shell on the host system, I add
tap0 to bridge:

  brctl addif br0 tap0

Output of brctl show:

=== brctl show ===

br0                 8000.0019d12e0633  no                 eth1
                                                                         tap0

=== END ===

=== arping -i tap0 04:EA:43:01:96:09 -w 100 -c 3 ===

ARPING 04:EA:43:01:96:09

=== END ===

AFAIK, br0 is the bridge between eth1 (Internet) and tap0. So, tap0
should communicate to ORe. What is the need for tap1?
