I have had a problem for some time trying to set a static arp for 2.1.x.
Net-tools-1.33 is out now and it fixed some of my other anomolies I still
can set an arp.

linux-2.1.42
net-tools-1.33
mm.wd6dod.ampr.org (44.10.0.15) - console
wd6dod.ampr.org (44.10.0.169) - remote gateway

What is wrong with this picture?

mm:/usr/src/net-tools-1.33# arp -H ax25 -i ax0 -s 44.10.0.169 WD6DOD-3
SIOCSARP and OLD_SIOCSARP: Invalid argument
No ARP Support or route to destination points to other interface. See
arp(8)

Yea, I read the man page over and over.

Status after arp request.
