Sid: Really strange network address stuff
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi. Running up to date Sid, kernel 2.6.17-2-686
I brought up my ath0 (madwifi driver 802.11G) a few hours ago, and
just looked at the interface. Here are the consecutive commands from
my console window:

- ---------------------------
I have no idea where this 169.254.185.184 is coming from. Until
2.6.17, the DHCP server address of 192.168.1.16 was all that ever
showed up.
The 192.168.1.1 gateway and WAP show up just fine in the arp cache,
routing still seems to work just fine.

I've got the link encrypted, so I don't think I'm getting any
crosstalk with a neighbors 802.11 system.
Any ideas?
