Is there a way on linux, based on MAC address, to get the IP of the unit?
You accumulate a table of mac<->ip assocations, but only after
communicating with something. arp -a will show the current entries
(which expire fairly quickly). You might ping everything in the network
range, then look for the mac in the arp list.
