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.
