If you use a different subnet, you : don't need specific knowledge about the routers MAC address. Well, I don't use different subnet right now...Besides, even with a different subnet, I would probably still need to add a route to the router manually, and this is not desirable. The ARP proxy approach allows me to set the entire thing up only by configuring the laptop itself and the gateway machine.
