Hello all, I've noticed the following strange behavior under linux 2.2.16. I have two machines connected together on a LAN. Each machine has a permanent arp entry for the other. If I then turn off arping on one machine (ifconfig eth0 -arp) and try to contact the other machine the first packet that goes out always has a destination hardware address of all 0's. After that initial packet, the correct hardware address is filled in. Is this known behavior or a bug? thanks!
