I ought to know this, or be able to figure it out, but I'm getting
stupid in my old age...

I have two networks at home: 172.16.2.x/24 (ethernet) and 172.17.2.x/24
(WiFi).  There's an OpenWRT router between them, and also a couple of
Linux boxes with interfaces on both networks.

My WiFi-only machines can ping any other WiFi interface, either
interface on the router, and machines with only an ethernet interface.
However, they can't ping the ethernet address of the dual-homed machines
(except for the OpenWRT router's ethernet interface).  All the
dual-homed machines are set up to forward IP, although they're not set
as anybody's default route.  The dual-homed machines can ping anybody,
although of course they use the interface on the appropriate network to
do it.

When I tcpdump on a dual-homed machine and ping from a WiFi machine to
the ethernet address of the dual-homed box, I see the ping packets
arriving, but no pong packets going back.

I thought maybe the dual-homed machine was replying from the WiFi
interface (causing ARP problems, maybe?) or sending to their default
router, but I don't see anything like that happening.

Any other ideas for what to look for?

Thanks,
