After someone suggested that Mandrake Linux can send the arp for type 0800 on occasion, I got a tcpdump running when my wifes laptop shutdown this evening: nivomede# tcpdump -lenx arp tcpdump: listening on fxp0 21:30:47.609116 0:10:a4:b8:93:2c ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0806 60: arp-#2 for proto #2048 (4) hardware #2048 (0) 0800 0800 0004 0002 0000 0000 0000 c0a8 0a4c 0000 0000 0000 ffff ffff 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 The correlation to the kernel message was right on time. Not a FreeBSD problem, I'd think.
