First, remember the mapping from MAC address to IP address is one to
many, not one to one.
Second, your best bet is to sniff packets going to/from that MAC
address. Something like this. There isn't a protocol, AFAIK, that
functions as reverse ARP in the general case. (Sun's RARP is only
used during diskless boot.)
tcpdump -i $if -e ether host 0:d0:59:18:2:c2
(The "-e" flag dumps the ethernet header.)
Third, you can look in /usr/share/ethereal/manuf for the
manufacturer's prefix. The one you list, 00:D0:59, belongs to Ambit
Microsystems.
