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!
Joe
