Something that Neale forgot to mention.  If you hand code the MAC of
the remote machine so the FA310TX does not need to do broadcast ARP
requests then everything works perfectly.  Also ARP broadcasts to the
FA310TX always work and unicast ARP replies from the FA310TX always
work.

Everything points to the FA310TX reading back its own broadcast request
instead of reading the ARP response from the other machine.
