[Bug 16768] New: Unable to scan using ARP with Softperfect Network Scanner

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16768

Summary: Unable to scan using ARP with Softperfect Network
                    Scanner
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.12
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When scanning with SoftPerfect Network Scanner, ARPing does not work as the
required function is not currently implemented in wine (only stub).
Wine says: fixme:iphlpapi:SendARP (DestIP 0x0100a8c0, SrcIP 0x00000000,
pMacAddr 0x8f5ae4, PhyAddrLen 0x8f5aec): stub

Setting Softperfect Network Scanner to scan using ARP: Options->Program Options
->Method->ARP (arping)

Running Ubuntu 8.10 x64.

Yep, that's a bug.  The difficulty is that sending ARP requests (and getting
their replies) requires root privilege in Linux, which is something we rather
discourage with Wine.

I understand that, but shouldn't it be implemented so users can choose for
themselves whether to use it (as root) or not?

That's what Juan's saying. It's technically a bug, and should be implemented.
The problem is, if/when it's implemented, using it opens up a bunch of other
issues, but that's not a wine problem, per se. And if using fine grained
permissions, can be controlled/contained to an extent.

I see, makes sense. I let you guys handle it in the best possible way:)

Turns out a bug was already open for the missing SendARP implementation.
