ip over ax.25 arp reliant on ip address on netrom ??

Howdy all,

I Recently had a problem here that caused hardware addresses for
other
stations to always be resolved as the interface hardware address I
was
talking to them on, but only while running netrom. If netrom was not
attached, hardware addresses were resolved fine. I don't, and don't
want to,
run ip _over_ netrom, so why would I configure an ip address on the
netrom interface (nr0) ? Well it seems if I don't, It causes the
aforementioned
arp problem.

Anyone else seen this ??

73 .. Rob
