I've got an 802.11b access point on my internal LAN, and it seems to be working fine, but my laptop with the 802.11b card seems to be causing some kind of intermittent error. Every day, I get a couple messages like this in /etc/messages: > arp: 10.0.0.8 moved from 00:02:dd:30:4a:e2 to 00:02:dd:30:0a:00 on rl0 > Mar 13 06:45:51 mumble /kernel: arp: 10.0.0.8 moved from 00:02:dd:30:4a:e2 to 00:02:dd:30:0a:00 on rl0 > arp: 10.0.0.8 moved from 00:02:dd:30:0a:00 to 00:02:dd:30:4a:e2 on rl0 > Mar 13 06:45:55 mumble /kernel: arp: 10.0.0.8 moved from 00:02:dd:30:0a:00 to 00:02:dd:30:4a:e2 on rl0 > arplookup 10.0.216.8 failed: host is not on local network > Mar 13 08:54:00 mumble /kernel: arplookup 10.0.216.8 failed: host is not on local network I looked in the archives of freebsd-questions, and I found someone else's question about the "host is not on local network" answered with what amounted to, "you've got your DNS stuff configured improperly -- go learn about DNS, it's outside the scope of this list". (Whereas in my case I believe it's something to do with the way the Windows DHCP client works; if you care to hear more about it, contact me.) So my question really isn't about that. I'm more interested in the notices that the wireless card seems to be switching hardware addresses. Does this seem normal to everyone, and if it is, can I tell the kernel not to bother me with stuff that's supposed to happen?
