It's clear to me that turning ARP off on wi0 on my machine
means no gratuitous arp will be xmitted, and no arp messages
will be responded to.  It's also clear that the static arp
entries for the wireless LAN get entered into the table, and
that ARP continues to work on the wired section.

Are you saying I'm hallucinating?
