The problem still persists as long as the box is connected to our Ciscos.

I tried to simulate it with a dumb switch with my two boxes connected only.
But there were no unsolicited ARP-replies anymore.

On the Ciscos I sometimes see ARP-replies with a destination MAC of
00:00:00:00:00:00 (!) from some Linux-boxes which are using bonding.
Currently I don't have a clue from where they're coming...

The boxes are receiving around 200 ARP-replies a minute - so yes, there's
concurrent network traffic :-)
