60 Etherape will use /etc/ethers if there is one. If not, it will try to
61 reverse lookup the ip address.
62 IMPORTANT! It is particularly important when running in ethernet mode
64 to have the ethernet address of your router in /etc/ethers. If not,
65 your router will have as name whatever IP address it was forwarding
66 traffic from when it was first heard.
