Yep, that was probably us.  We were using 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 ..

I also tcpdumped a bit but probably not while you were sending
anything.

My laptop only has one pcmcia slot, so I was using the wi unit I
borrowed from chopps on my system, while he had another wi and his wl
plugged in and was NAT'ing between wi and wl..
