+Q: It doesn't compile!
+
+A: Arping won't work with libnet 1.1.x. This is due to a libnet 1.1.x
+ being completely different from 1.0.x. There is no real way to
+ write code that works on both 1.0.x and 1.1.x.
+
+ Since I wanted to do some other things a bit differently, I wrote
+ arping 2.x. It doesn't support as many architectures yet, but I'm
+ working on it.
+
+ Arping 2.x (BETA) is included in this release and can be created
+ with "make arping2". If it doesn't compile, check the Makefile and
+ adjust paths.
+
+ Once I get Arping2 working on all architectures I'll setup so that
+ the right version is compiled automatically.

A: You have to choose interface with the -i switch if the default is wrong for
