And I have set: sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.icmplim=200 (default) The dmesg output for the xl0 driver is: xl0: <3Com 3c556 Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xfbffd800-0xfbffd87f,0xfbffdc00-0xfbffdc7f irq 11 at device 16.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:03:82:df:00 miibus0: on xl0 I don't think that that behavior occured under the 4.3-ish -STABLE builds I had on here previously (at least I haven't noticed it before, have reason to believe I've scanned this machine previously and can't find it in my old logfiles -- i could be mistaken about having scanned this machine before though).
