Since the ethetnetif_init() is called from the main thread (the one in 
simhost.c), it is this thread that will call arp_tmr() and not the ethernet 
thread.

In fact, this is highly implementation dependant - arp_tmr() could even be 
called from an interrupt handler, if that is suitable for the project.
