Yes, he will need RARP or he can invert the problem and then the ethernet box may act as a client. Or he can think about DHCP.
He can use lwip as a starting point and add the missing protocols.

Do you know arp?
    

Technically for this case he'll need RARP, but it's all the same really -
just has different operation codes.  However, lwIP doesn't seem to deal
with the RARP operation codes, so it's not implemented yet.  (At least
thats how it looks at first glance - correct me if I'm wrong).  Should be
a very simple change though.  The source file you need to look at is:

src/netif/etharp.c
