TBH I don't want to use alternatives if the two tools are not using the

alternatives (or being installed in two different paths, not sure
anymore) but they are not providing the same flags/options,
network-manager is using this tool but only works with one of the
implementation.
Why isn't there a Breaks from the right arping to network-manager?
FTR, other distributions (RHEL/Fedora at least) are using the iproute
implementation.
Probably that is the best way to go then.
