Ethernet messages would be kernel messages rather than daemon messages,
wouldn't they? Doesn't that mean they would be logged by the kernel
logger (klogd) rather than the system logger (syslogd)? Is it possible
that DNotify (the native Linux file monitor) is being bypassed in the
kernel somehow?
I am not aware of any bug related to this, and I would suspect something
else may be going wrong; I'm just trying to explain the behavior you are
seeing. :-)
