[Battlemesh] Flashing tool without a VLAN switch

[Benjamin Henrion]

Hi,

Would it be possible to make a flashing tool similar to ap51, but
which does not need a VLAN capable switch.

I am thinking at the following:

1. Capture ARP packets with libpcap or similar
2. Change the ARP cache, and then reconfigure redboot with
telnet/netcat commands to change its IP address different from
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.21
3. Reflash with the right rootfs/kernel images

Is it possible? What do you think?

Best,
