I have a laptop that frequently moves from network to network and I'd like it to intelligently configure itself based on MAC addresses of other hosts it sees on the local LAN segment; essentially "fingerprinting" the LAN it's on. Obviously this gets done as root. :-) Is there some function that I can use, or maybe some shell command? (Just executing "arp -a" with an unconfigured interface either returns nothing or hangs.) Or maybe there's a better way of fingerprinting? (DHCP is not possible, btw.)
