"ARP: dev->type mangled! 15 dlci00" is now what I get on the console
(printk)

ok, I got the number 15... (help me out here, I know nothing about ARP)

#define ARPHRD_DLCI     15              /* Frame Relay DLCI             */

and indeed it is coming through interface dlci00, which is the link to
Netmedia...

now what? anyone wants to patch me up so I can log the originator of the
packet, or maybe the packet itself and send it to Alan Cox to check out?
