You may try other versions of this command

http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/dev/iproute2/download/

They appear to be numbered by kernel version, and the above version
is the most recent one for 2.6.14. Will more recent ones (for
newer kernels) work with my kernel?

It should work; if it doesn't, please make a report. Thanks.

I downloaded iproute2-2.6.23 and built it for my kernel.

I'm compiling for a different kernel than is actually running on the build system, so I had to add a line defining KERNEL_INCLUDE to the Makefile, and I had to add "-I${KERNEL_INCLUDE}" to the CFLAGS definition. Someone might want to do something about that...

Anyways, the arp entry issue is still there. The "arp" command gives a bunch of entries:

root@typhoon-base-unit0:/root> arp -n
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
192.168.24.81 ether 00:01:AF:14:E9:8A C bond2

172.24.0.5 ether 00:01:AF:15:E0:6A C bond0

The original "ip" command and the new one ("/tmp/ip") both give the same results--some of the entries are missing.

root@typhoon-base-unit0:/root> ip neigh show all

172.24.0.5 dev bond0 lladdr 00:01:af:15:e0:6a STALE


However, if I specifically try to print out one of the missing entries, it shows up:

root@typhoon-base-unit0:/root> /tmp/ip neigh show 192.168.24.81
192.168.24.81 dev bond2 lladdr 00:01:af:14:e9:8a REACHABLE
