floppyC28 missing arp?



Theo:
|In some ways, we are stunned.  Only 5 people have sent in dmesg reports with

|people out there using them.

Funny, I just installed the 19 Oct snap on a machine with such a card
yesterday.  dmesg will of course follow once I plug it into a network.

Anyway, I tried a DHCP install, and I think I even saw that my little
xe0 was configured correctly, just before the message was washed away by
an indefinite torrent of "arp: not found" messages repeating at 1-second
intervals.  I dug up static numbers and everything went smoothly from
there.

With a little poking around, I think I worked out that dhclient runs
dhclient-script, dhclient-script runs arp, and no arp was to be found on
floppyC28.  I realize that this is annoyingly nonspecific as error
reports go, but if arp isn't there, it isn't there.

Did I do something stupid, or is it really broken?
