Hi,

testing http://marc.info/?t=140024539000003&r=1&w=2 further and now I
hit issue with corporate WIFI. I can connect perfectly fine to 2 of
them provided with WPA2-PSK, either with regular ifconfig or with
wpa_supplicant from packages, but the thing is that my
/var/log/messages is flooded by these messages repeating like every
3s:

/bsd: arp info overwritten for GW_IP by MAC_1 on iwn0
/bsd: arp info overwritten for GW_IP by MAC_2 on iwn0

arp -a shows only one MAC all the time and that's MAC_2 no matter if
I reboot or just reconnect to network. Info from inside about setup of
those APs is:

There actually are 2 gateways having the same IP address GW_IP and
the mac addresses belong to them. They work as failover and also load
balacer.

Not sure if it's because of that or because of ARP flooding in
/var/log/messages, but performance of those WiFi is quite strange like
ping replies over 20ms, a lot of web services doesn't work, takes
years to connect, some are running perfectly fine immediately and
such.

So.....

1) Is there anything I can do with ARP messages in /var/log/messages?
Nothing in man arp and some sysctl switch I found only in FreeBSD
2) Is there anything what can be tweaked from OpenBSD side to improve general performance of WiFi connection or is it just either AP fix or
nothing?

Thanks a lot


Still trying to get much more info, but that setup must be horrible.
Trying arping results in:

30 packets sent, 60 received. Always doubled response with MAC_1 and MAC_2

When trying to ping some of the internal servers they all have
123.123.123.123 IP which is of course totally wrong. Same if tried
with dig @GW_IP server_IP (as GW_IP is set as DNS by dhclient)

So now not so sure if it's terrible AP setup or if it's something in
ARP, dhclient, ieee80211 code in OpenBSD


Even more suspicious details:

option dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:c2:c6:1c:af:ac in lease from dhclient, but my MAC is 00:c2:c6:1c:af:ac. It got mangled or is it on purpose? (investigating in the meantime of course :-)) dhcp-server-identifier is IP of totally different subnet (10..) instead of 192... of that AP/GW
