I have been recently getting this message in my system log about everything 10 minutes or so. I'm almost certain it's a loop in the network since it's from my linux box with both lan and wireless connected at the same time. I was just wondering if this could be caused by bad client-side configuration? Or if there was some configuration could do to sort of get m0n0wall to stop being confused.

Or should I drop the dual connection and go back to single? Tongue

It's not confused, it's just telling you that because it's generally not normal for an IP to switch MAC's, and can be indicative of malicious activity. If it's normal for your network, just ignore it.
