<question id="unknown-hw-addr-format">
<para>What are these <errorname>arp: unknown hardware
address format</errorname> error messages?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This means that some device on your local Ethernet is
using a MAC address in a format that FreeBSD does not
recognize. This is probably caused by someone
experimenting with an Ethernet card somewhere else on the
network. You'll see this most commonly on cable modem
networks. It is harmless, and should not affect the
performance of your FreeBSD machine.</para>
