Now that that is roaming the back of my head: Neighbour detection is
IMHJO generally a layer 2 issue: you can't detect your neighbours with
IP [0] but must broadcast on the layer below (i.e. on the MAC layer in
the ethernet world) to get (all) neighbours.

[0]: With IP broadcasts you find nodes in the broadcast range but not
     all neighbours.
