I don't know that there is one really! :-)
HOWEVER
The fact that you're struggling with it suggests to me that dnsmasq is *NOT* overkill!
Yes, but what do I run it on? I suppose that the BeagleBone can run it but then I have to turn off DHCP on the router, etc., etc. it all gets stupidly complicated for what is actually a trivial system.
Turn the devices on one at a time and work out which one's which. Note down the mac addresses for each - I doubt that the mac addresses will change.
They certainly shpuldn't!
If all else fails, you have a list and it will save you time next time.
Yes, though looking for things in a list of MAC addresses is hardly neat is it!
I just wonder what 'the man in the street' does in this situation?
