Shouldn't that be net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements ?

myriad# sysctl -d net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements: log arp replies from MACs 
different than the one in the cache

I get these messages about 10/day on an interface that's connected to a 
cable modem network (Blueyonder in the UK).

I've just set this sysctl to see if it stops these messages for me.
