Hi, i use linux and would apreciate to see your work in mainline !!!
I dont understand why you say you dont have ping under linux ?
For auto-discovery under linux, you can use arping to get mac adress on the same sub-network from IP, but i dont know what tools is embededd in xbmc , maybe add arp to the packet dependency (i tried with openelec and arp is there)?
It only knows what has already been discovered though so you would have to initiate some contact to a specific IP. Probably using ping would be easy
ping -b <broadcast address>
can be used to scan the network and fills your arp cache.
