Thanks Dave I will try your suggestion.

I had the need for the same functionality.

In etharp.c, at the end of etharp_input, put something like this:

  arp_callback(&sipaddr, (const struct eth_addr*)&hdr->shwaddr, netif->num, hdr->opcode, p);

arp_callback is defined in my code and passes whatever is needed by the callback. Just be sure to NOT free the packet in etharp_input but then do it in your code (or free it after the callback returns in etharp_input).

Thanks for your reply. So if I want to support it I have to add some changes to etharp.c file. Is there a plan to support such feature?

No.

As you have found out yourself, raw pcbs are raw IP pcbs, not raw
network packets. It's like that in the socket world...
