It's actually 2.1-stable, and 2.2-current. The next release of -stable will be 2.1.1, so it's much more like 2.1 than 2.2. > And, is it really fixed, or do you mean that ugly hack about first > checking if there still is an old arp entry before setting up a new > one ? Umm, it's really fixed, but it involves deleting the bogus entry. The system creating an unresolved entry is correct behavior, and deleting the unresolved entry when a valid entry is found is correct behavior. This is done in the kernel though, so it's not a user-land hack to work around kernel bugs. Nate
