I'm seeing the following message at boot, and the system hangs for a minute or so.
^C frees it or it will eventually continue on its own.

 /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (an IP address was here)

This is a freshly-installed 2.1.7 system from the CD.

I went to Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 2 and found the message.  I also looked through
the source code.  However, I remained unenlightened.

Can someone enlighten me?
