"2 clients are connecting through this device"

[sbsnb]

I see the following in Network Map with a new Samsung tablet:

If I look in the logs, there is only one client with that MAC and there are no other MAC addresses connected now or in the past.

?

Found this thread on the topic. Sorry I didn't see it before. Since the tablet initially connected and received a DHCP assignment, and was later changed to receive a fixed IP from dnsmasq, I assume my issue is similar to the other poster's issues. It seems that the Asus code doesn't decrement the counter that tallies the number of IPs assigned to a MAC even after the DHCP lease expires.

Yeah, I found that. It doesn't turn up when you search "2 clients are" without quotes. You have to do the whole phrase.

killall networkmap worked. It seemed to have restarted itself after a bit. Not sure how to properly restart it since it's not a service.

Dec 26 07:48:54 rc_service: service 31876:notify_rc start_networkmap
Dec 26 07:48:54 rc: received unrecognized event: networkmap

I just did /usr/sbin/networkmap &

Seems ok.
