Hey all.  Quick question about a kernel message I'm seeing on a fairly
regular basis.

Oct 29 18:17:05 acadia /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format (0x080=
0)
Oct 31 08:50:04 acadia /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format (0x080=
0)
Oct 31 12:05:28 acadia /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format (0x080=
0)
Nov  1 08:55:50 acadia /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format (0x080=
0)

I don't know just what it means.

The only  things I can think  of would be  a bad nic (bad,  since it's
onboard - but under warranty) or a  little trick I play to get my DHCP
lease  from my  ISP.  For that  I use  the  /etc/start_if.xl0 with  an
ifconfig xl0  ether 00:aa:11:22:33:44  kind of command  to set  my MAC
address.

Of course, I'm no guru (FreeBSD  or network) so I thought someone here
might know.

TIA & HAND
Lou
