Linux 2.1.x supports the IP protocol, the device at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does
not do so correctly. Linux 2.0 didnt check so you never found out your
network was broken and could potentially go down in a broadcast storm. If it
bugs you just disable that message and pray 8)
If its survived this long it probably will continue to do so.
