Omitting "all" gives identical results. It is still missing entries when compared with the output of "arp".

In that case the easiest way to debug this is probably if you
add some debugging to ip/ipneigh.c:print_neigh() since I'm
unable to reproduce this problem. A printf for all the filter
conditions (=> return 0) at the top should do.

Alternatively, you can download libnl and run

	NLCB=debug src/nl-neigh-dump brief

and check if the netlink message is sent by the kenrel for the
neighbour in question.


It should be, according to Chris, "ip neigh show <ip>" does
show the missing entries, and in case of neighbour entries
all filtering is done in userspace.
