Ok, no complaints about the patch, it's simple, has been looked at and tested. This patch against current kernel trees fixes two things: - n.n.n.n0xNN whitespace collision in /proc/net/arp and - removes the sprintf formatting for %s, "*" on the arp mask which is no longer used nor will be used here -d -- "There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents", Thomas Jefferson [1742-1826], 3rd US President
