Please notice, that echo request packets are in ethernet frames, heading
to broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).

Any help will be much appreciated. Also, when more info, why I see such
packets is needed, I'm ready to serve.

OK, I'll bite. Why would you need to do this? It seems that you would just setup the interface on your Linux box to have an IP address (e.g. 192.168.7.1), assign the default route on the 192.168.7.11 box to point to the Linux box, and then be happy. The 192.168.7.11 device would ARP for the Linux box, then send unicast frames for the Linux box's interface. Why is this insufficient?

P.S. As to the initial inquiry, perhaps you could proxy the ARP requests? Surely the 192.168.7.11 starts by ARPing for 10.18.63.249?
