In the reference manual, I found a reference to ARP as general protocol but it's not said explicitly that the DG834Gv2 use it: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/dg834g_ref_manual.pdf So I guess it's the protocol used. dmesg extract: ----- sis0: <NatSemi DP8381[56] 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xfaaff000-0xfaafffff irq 17 at device 8.0 on pci4 sis0: Silicon Revision: DP83815D miibus0: <MII bus> on sis0 ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto sis0: Ethernet address: 00:09:5b:05:c7:c3 nfe0: <NVIDIA nForce 430 Networking Adapter> port 0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xfebdc000-0xfebdcfff irq 23 at device 20.0 on pci0 miibus1: <MII bus> on nfe0 rlphy0: <RTL8201L 10/100 media interface> on miibus1 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto nfe0: Ethernet address: 00:15:f2:03:db:00 ----- Regards, Mathieu
