I get this same message often since I got a cable modem. There seems
to be no pattern as to when it occurs. I infer from the wording that
someone on the local ethernet segment is advertising a weird
non-ethernet MAC address.

I have found no explanation so far and stopped looking for one. There
appears to be no degredation to my system performance.

Is this coming from the ISP's network or is it an internal network?
