As simple as this sounds, try powering off/on the Linksys (just unplug the power from the back and count to 10 or 15 and then plug it back in). Sometimes a Linksys will get "stuck" with garbage characters for MAC addresses in the DHCP table. Take a look at the DHCP clients table under the router config.

The only time I see it on one Linksys router (but not my other Linksys APs and routers) is when people use more than one Netgear dual band PCMCIA wireless NICs.

Edit: If that does fix it, then set your DHCP client lease time short so that the table will clear out at regular intervals.
