mDNS solutions like avahi translate between hostnames and ips, while

maybe i'm ignoring some MAC discovery protocol?
While reading about TLV's on wikipedia[1], I came across a MAC discovery
protocol[2], LLDP, which eventually lead me to OpenLLDP[3]. If this also works
on 802.11, I think we have a winner :)
Happy hacking!
