trye to look at this:
In order to prevent this message from printing on the console,
edit /etc/rc.config.d/nettl:

1. Uncomment the following line:

# NETTL_CONSOLE=0 # No console logging desired.

2. Change NETTL_CONSOLE=1 to 0

The message you see indicates that there is a device out on the
network sending ARP requests where the source ethernet address
is a broadcast address (ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff) when it should have been
an individual station address. The message gives the IP address of
the device that sent the message, but unfortunately, this IP address
is 0.

Given that the IP is 0 with a source address that is a broadcast
address, it is going to be very difficult to find which device is
doing it. You may have to look at the network and guess which is
the most likely devices and concentrate on them. Look at devices using
DHCP, BOOTP, or other devices unlikely to have an IP address when they
start up.
