yes, and semi obviously that router is my box (LinkSys wrt 54gl
openwrt kamikaze 8.09.1.

same bug? or new bug? I can see what I can do to get a tcpdump from
the router.  yes I tried that, I can tell within the first 10 pings. I
should say I don't notice it on every kernel boot, it's ~80% of
reboots (but that's pulled from my behind). but I haven't noticed it
on gfa31221 at all. it's reproducible in 31.6 too (arch just added
that).

didn't know that, although I should have guessed (or rtfm), thanks.
