Yeah on the console too.  Is it a network-manager problem
maybe?  I use iwl3945 - it is definitely broken at Brendan's
Bakery on Mission in Santa Cruz - awesome sandwiches there.
Both the stock kernel and my own have that problem. But I
think it happened at home on the wire once.  MDNS problem?
iptables logs everything it blocks except windoze and it's
not logging anything blocked.  but i don't understand why
the browser works on the same names, does iceweasel keep a
dns cache?

at home if i use the stock debian kernel (2.6.26-17) there
is an arp loop on the wire interface asking who has 169.*
addrs.  i have been too lazy to figure out ip6tables so i
turned off ipv6 in my own kernel.
