For the sake of not having to compile any C code, let's try use only pure Rust dependencies. To get the host interface information we can use the
pnet
andipnetwork
libraries. These are both pure Rust.pnet
v0.25 depends onipnetwork
v0.15 so we use that also instead of the latestipnetwork
v0.16.Resolves: #1489
