i thought to make an ip scan (ping test) and check if a specific mac address respond .

Hi all,

These Amazon dash buttons seem to be cool.
It would be really helpful to have a way discovering them on the local network.

When connecting they send ARP probe on the network. This guy succeeded in discovering them with a python script.

Could be funny to do the same on B4A.

Do you know if there is way to do it :
- snif an ARP probe ?
- find a new Mac address on the local network ?
