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@...hoon-base-unit0:/root> arp -n

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

root@...hoon-base-unit0:/root> ip neigh show all
172.24.137.0 dev bond0  FAILED

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@...hoon-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
