Package: arping Version: 2.07~pre1-2 Severity: normal arping only works if network interface irda0 is not up. Otherwise arping fails with "arping: libnet_init(): unknown physical layer type 0x30f". Might be related to bug #238344.
Here is the output: lap:~# arping 00:C1:26:07:C0:42 arping: libnet_init(): unknown physical layer type 0x30f lap:~# LANG=en_US ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:a5:c0:87:ff inet addr:192.168.0.20 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1400 Metric:1 RX packets:6698540 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4744330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3628151737 (3.3 GiB) TX bytes:843480604 (804.4 MiB) Interrupt:10 irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr a2:68:f3:9d inet addr:192.168.141.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1 RX packets:4555 errors:5 dropped:3 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:451286 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:8 RX bytes:261521 (255.3 KiB) TX bytes:14349402 (13.6 MiB) Interrupt:255 Base address:0x100 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:472311 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:472311 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:193890830 (184.9 MiB) TX bytes:193890830 (184.9 MiB) vmnet1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:c0:00:01 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2375 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) vmnet8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:c0:00:08 inet addr:192.168.8.1 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:539 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) lap:~# ifconfig irda0 down lap:~# arping 00:C1:26:07:C0:42 ARPING 00:C1:26:07:C0:42 --- 00:C1:26:07:C0:42 statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% unanswered lap:~# -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rfdeb (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages arping depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libnet1 1.1.2.1-2 library for the construction and h ii libpcap0.8 0.9.8-5 system interface for user-level pa ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip arping recommends no packages. arping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
