I got the following message on my console:
Apr 15 16:51:26 mykernel /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format
(0x0008
)
Apr 15 16:52:56 mykernel /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format
(0x0108
)
Apr 15 16:53:26 mykernel /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format
(0x0008
)

I did a quick grep through my /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL config
file and got:

$ grep arp MYKERNEL
$ 

(i.e. nothing)

Then a grep through the actual kernel (/kernel) reveiled:

$ strings /kernel | grep *arp*
arpresolve
arp_ifinit
arpintrq
arp_rtrequest: bad gateway value
arp_rtrequest: malloc failed
arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for %s%s%s
arpintr
arp: runt packet -- m_pullup failed
arp: unknown hardware address format (0x%2D)  /* <--!That's my message */
arp: runt packet
log_arp_wrong_iface
arp: ether address is broadcast for IP address %s!
arp: %6D is using my IP address %s!
arp: %s is on %s%d but got reply from %6D on %s%d
arp: %s moved from %6D to %6D on %s%d
arp: %6D attempts to modify permanent entry for %s on %s%d
arptfree
arplookup %s failed: %s
arpkludge

What do I need to change so as to not get this message anymore? the arp(4)
man page gave some diagnosic help, but did not list
the particular message I am getting. 

My system is running 4.3-RC, dual PPro, 128MB, Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B
on-board network connection.
Thank you in advance,
