Try putting the attached in the pox ext directory and then running ./pox.py log.level --DEBUG l2_pairs_debug

Do a ping test and post the log.

I was recieving the same msg with mininet then i refreshed the git clone after which it started working, when i try to ping host in mininet it displays the mac addresses and then displays msg adding entry.

I have a rb450g and i have ported the latest openwrt and followed pantou but same error.
