Hi,
we are debugging networking problems and stumpled over interesting arp
queries from one of our machines. Its currently an 2.6.5 vanilla.
Ethernet card is an tg3.
0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1734:100b
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr+ Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 64 (16000ns min), Cache Line Size: 0x10 (64 bytes)
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18
Region 0: Memory at fa110000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
Region 2: Memory at fa100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]

Address: 0000000100000000 Data: a02d
I changed the mac address with "ifconfig eth0 hw ether de:ad:be:ef:00:00"
and watched the ethernet with a port mirror. Original mac address of
the interface is: 0:30:5:46:b1:9e
The broken arps were still coming with the original mac address:
tcpdump -s 1600 -vvv -n -e -i eth0 arp
09:48:03.168087 0:30:5:46:b1:9e ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0806 60: arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 0.0.0.0
On the machine itself i couldnt see those arp queries in the tcpdump -
It seems the card itself generates those arp queries.
Is this possible at all ? Is it a known bug ?
