LCP EchoReq over and over again

["Luiz Otavio L. Zorzella" <zorzella@iname.com>]

Hi,

I'm having this problem for quite some time. I keep on seeing this
message about "LCP EchoReq" on /var/log:

[...]

[...]

As you see, it happens once every minute.

Is this a problem? How can I make it stop?

Thanks,
