Description From Mathieu Lacage 2009-02-28 14:36:04 EDT

See Ipv4L3Protocol::AddInterface
It makes no sense to call RegisterProtocolHandler if device->NeedsArp returns
false

It works anyway because ArpIpv4Interface checks NeedsArp before calling into
the ARP code.

What really sucks here is Ipv4Interface... Hopefully, tom will get rid of this
with his ipv4 rework.
