But through which interfaces did the arp requests arrive *before*
turning on arp_filter and on which interfaces do they arrive *after*
setting arp_filter? 

If both cards are on the same switch and arp_filtering is turned off,
any of the two interfaces will answer arp requests for both cards, as
both requests go to an interface, which is local to the machine.

Turning on arp_filtering, each interface will only answer requests
directed at that interface. 

Can you send some sniffing output *before* and *after* changing the
setting? Is there anything strange in dmesg?

Cheers,

Ralph
