Change Details

WiFi tethering with nobody connected will be detected now. Broadcast/neighbor addresses are now logged to predict the effects of a future transition to using them and away from generic link-local broadcast.

Switch from broadcasting on "255.255.255.255" and checking if on mobile data to broadcasting link-local on compatible network interfaces. "255.255.255.255" only works well on normal WiFi. While tethering, the packets may leak to the phone network, and/or not reach tethered clients. This problem is avoided with link-local addresses like "192.168.X.255". Using link-local addresses also makes it easier to support IPv6 in the future. Support clients on: - WiFi tethering (even with nobody connected) - Bluetooth tethering - USB tethering
