When sending ARP requests over AX.25 links the hwaddress in the neighbour cache are not getting initialized. For such an incomplete arp entry ax2asc2 will generate an empty string resulting in /proc/net/arp output like the following: $ cat /proc/net/arp IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device 192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3 172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * bpq0 The missing field will confuse the procfs parsing of arp(8) resulting in incorrect output for the device such as the following: $ arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface gateway ether 52:54:00:00:5d:5f C ens3 172.20.1.99 (incomplete) ens3 This changes the content of /proc/net/arp to: $ cat /proc/net/arp IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device 172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * * bpq0 192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3 To do so it change ax2asc to put the string "*" in buf for a NULL address argument. Finally the HW address field is left aligned in a 17 character field (the length of an ethernet HW address in the usual hex notation) for readability.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
