You are right, ethtool is wrong, however, for arping:
jfs@silicio:if-up-scripts$ which arping
/usr/bin/arping
jfs@silicio:if-up-scripts$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/arping
iputils-arping: /usr/bin/arping
It looks like the 'arping' package installs in /usr/sbin/ instead...

Ouch, it looks like iputil's arping has a different meaning for that
variable:

-w deadline
Specify a timeout, in seconds, before arping exits regardless

Thanks for the patch, but I will also have to change the script to cover both
situations (arping from iputils-arping or from arping).
