You won't find /proc/net/rarp any more, since

In more friendly terms, the kernel has no rarp tables any more, and the
userland daemon rarpd just does all the job done by the 2.2 kernels.

You don't need 'rarp -f' either, since now the /etc/ethers file is consulted
in any case. You _possibly_ have to restart rarpd in order to let it see
differences in your /etc/ethers.
