Addressing APIPA/IPv4LL issues with uamanyip

Hi Gunter,
Thanks for the patch.

Have done some testing myself and found that the same problem applies if a
user arrives at a hotspot with a static IP and no gateway.
If, on finding he can connect, he tries to connect though DHCP he will be
given his origional IP without any gateway.
And so won't be able to connect until the router is rebooted.

With this in mind, would it not be better for your patch to test for all
IP's outside of the DHCP dynamic ip range rather than just those in the
IPv4LL subnet?
