patch

NMBscan uses 'arp -n' for resolution of IP addresses into MAC address.

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 -n' from iproute
package) instead of 'arp -n' (see attached patch) ?

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

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the patch.
I have added the patch to the package. Unfortunately koji has got some problems right now, so I am not able to rebuild package.

Done, 
patch added for F17.
