Spamming "ip neigh show"? Why? #61

Description

Current Situation

Why is this library spamming "ip neigh show" from getLinuxNetworkInterfaces() every 15 seconds?

First, network interfaces don't change that often.

Second, "ip neigh show" list information about other computers on the attached networks (i.e. somewhat sensitive data), not interfaces. If you want a list of interfaces, use "ip link" or "ip address".
