hi

I have a problem that has been going for a couple of days.
A pc router running 3.2release at certain moments wont
have mac addresses in its arp table for the other 
hosts on the same LAN. A arp -an would say [incomplete].
In the mean time a tcpdump on arp show that the machine does
send arp requests and it does receive arp reply, it just 
wont install them. Only after I do a arp -ad will it start
to install entries again. The interface in question is mx0.

I looked through system messages and could find any indication
of a relevant error message ot something.

Could this be a driver problem? Has anyone had a similar problem? 

thanks,
slava.
