This is a very good point of view of my topology. But offtopic.
That's because it's not a package per say. Proxy ARP is a feature of
the kernel that has to be enabled, much like routing and IP forwarding.
Rather than me re-typing how to do it, take a look at the write up about
it in the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HowTo -
Pseudo-bridges with Proxy-ARP
(http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.bridging.proxy-arp.html).
I will read that soon.

For now, i have tested parprouted (see message dated 22/07/08 18:01
(west Europe)). Fact is: it solves the arp problem at one condition: I
have to shutdown completely the bridge.
parprouted does not work at all with br0; it works properly only for
eth0+wlan0_rename ... and only when br0 is off ("brctl delbr br0");
then, all ARP tables are set up as desired (real mac of the machine
within the segment; IPs of machines from other segments are aliased to
Gluton's MAC). Et the time i do "brctl addbr br0 && brctl addif br0
eth0", arp resolution stops working (after cache expiry, or manual
deletion).
So, my problem is not to get the right arp resolution, and find a way to
bridge interfaces so that it wont prevent arp to work as required. This
is an offtopic problem for now; i have a new path to walk, and i got new
ideas for google keywords to search for. I ll give feedback in few days
(either giving a solution, or with new problems :D ). I have to find why
parprouted and brctl seem incompatible ... or how people do the bridging
when using parprouted around ...

I am open minded for changing the software approach, as long as we keep
trying to use my actual hardware.
I now have things to work on my side.
