Not sure if this is intende but busybox arping is not consistent with arping on linux, printing MAC addressed.


root@agent4:/home/vmule# arping 192.168.1.159
ARPING 192.168.1.159
60 bytes from 08:00:27:86:47:9d (192.168.1.159): index=0 time=1.002 sec

and this is busybox arping
root@agent4:/home/vmule# busybox arping 192.168.1.159
ARPING to 192.168.1.159 from 192.168.1.157 via eth0
Unicast reply from 192.168.1.159 [8:0:27:86:47:9d] 0.314ms

I wrote a small patch to fix it:
