Ya know, I'm getting exactly this error except for eth0 (ethernet):

It was working 'til I started playing with routing.  Also, doing a dmesg
reveals (don't know if this is relevant):

ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address
ARP: arp called for own IP address

I tried grep-ing for "arp" in /etc/rc*/*{,/*} but found nothing; I also
tried the same in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/* w/o success.

Did you find a solution to this?  I tried scanning some other files in
/etc, but saw nothing unusual.

Thanks for any tips.
