Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-i386->freebsd-net Over to maintainer(s). Most probably, that was triggered by some other device in network generating such "strange" arp packets. It should be possible to find those packets by doing something like "tcpdump -i XXX -lnevs100 arp" (where XXX is the interface name) and looking for ethertype value (and source mac address). While it is questionable if FreeBSD should yell on invalid arp packets instead of silently ignoring them, this is not a (FreeBSD) bug. I'd like to close this PR if there are no other questions/comments. |
