This results from the 'proxyarp' option being passed to pppd. Check
your /etc/ppp/options file or the command line which you use to
start pppd for this option and remove it. Proxyarp allows you to 
essentially do routing to ppp-connected machines from an ethernet.
It would seem that you don't have ethernet so you don't need and
can't profit from this.

Strange ppp message

1997-03-29 Thread Jim Smith
Here is the latest entry from my /var/log/ppp.log file, only the last
line was copied, but that's the one I'm questioning.

Mar 28 22:07:29 jim pppd [414]: Cannot determine Ethernet address for
proxy ARP

Don't know what it means, but I remember something about ARP from the
Kernel compilation.
