The ARP table should be there. It may be that it got 'lost' with the ARP 
changes last year. So this should be fixable. The ARP table is the old 
one, though.

This may be the same problem. The routing table code just fetches the 
routing table from the kernel. If the directly attached routes are not in 
the routing table anymore, they will not show up.

3) No LLDP support

Until two days ago I was not even aware what LLDP is :-)
