Check that - the problem DIDN'T go away with the MAC in the ARP table.

I seem to have run across an interesting issue recently with my gateway system, which runs hostap in a bridged interface with a lan:

Sep 19 14:31:28 rivendell kernel: AP: packet to non-associated STA 00:50:56:00:00:03
Sep 19 14:31:28 rivendell kernel: AP: packet to non-associated STA 00:50:56:00:00:03
Sep 19 14:31:28 rivendell kernel: wlan0: Could not find STA for this TX error
Sep 19 14:31:28 rivendell kernel: wlan0: Could not find STA for this TX error

I found this after I noticed that when I was typing in an ssh session to the host with MAC 00:50:56:00:00:03 (a VMWare virtual machine), the gw's hd would spin quite a bit.

The VM is located on a host living on the wired lan. The ssh session originated on my laptop, connected via wireless.

These messages went away after I pinged the host in question from the gateway to get it's MAC in the ARP table.

Is this a bug?
