I will only be able to offer limited assistance. Your dlci is
obviously a refenence to your frame relay subchannel. I'm using an old
kernel here. Plus, I'm not using frame relay on linux. I suspect your
frame relay device driver came with the card you got.. It sounds like
arp.c needs to be upgraded to handle the "dlci" arp type. (arp translates
ip address into hardware addresses). If you don't have a patch or
replacement arp in your driver sources, maybe you need to email the
author of the frame relay device driver you are using, and ask him
for help with the arp for frame relay.
