Since I started using a cable modem and dhclient, my system has been
literally overwhelmed with messages like:
/kernel: arp: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is using my IP address 0.0.0.0!
Man, these messages were pouring out of syslogd like mad, and my
/var/log/messages* files had to be deleted, because they were growing
so huge. There were literally hundreds of these messages pouring out
via syslogd per second, and they were coming non-stop. There were so
many messages coming out, my hard drive was overwhelmed until dhclient
finally obtain/ed a lease. That said, I suggest we make the following
patch to /sys/netinet/if_ether.c:
