Description Jiri Popelka 2012-01-24 18:13:44 UTC 
EGD uses 'arp -a' output (probably just to gadher some entropy).
arp is part of net-tools which has been deprecated for some time and we would like to eventually get rid of it.

Would it be possible to use 'ip neigh' (equivalent of 'arp -a' from iproute package) instead of 'arp -a' (see attached patch) ?

And also replace
Requires:  net-tools
with
Requires:  iproute
in spec file ?
