Hello

I am running 6.11.0 on RHEL 6.8.

I see the following when the system makes a DHCP request.  The DHCP server provides a valid IP address, but when the system does an ARP request for the assigned IP address a broken system on the network responds that it is "0.0.0.0".

SNIP
eth1: ARP probing 10.3.8.204 (1 of 3), next in 1.6 seconds
eth1: hardware address 00:16:5d:4f:53:ac claims 0.0.0.0
SNIP

My last C coding was done ~ 25 years ago, but it looks like the code does not check whether the ARP reply is valid, but ARP reply !NULL.  I did see where ARP replies from itself are ignored.

I submitted a ticket too.
