Thank you for the notice, i'v found that the version i used was "a bit" out of
date :)
Anyway, ATM i still havn't found any AutoIP implementation, just buzzes that
"Probably it was implemented somewhere in Linux/ARM land". So i'm thinking at
least to try to do it from the scratch. Trying to find out how to control ARP
level, better from userland. Any hints ? In general, IMO AutoIP's algs are
prety simple, just need to send and receive some/all ARP packets.
