Thanks Whiskers for figuring out how to finally list all the devices
on the network from the desktop/laptop computer.
https://www.fingbox.com/download

This worked:
$ wget "https://www.fingbox.com/download?plat=lx64&ext=deb"
$ mv "download?plat=lx64&ext=deb" fing_lx64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i ./fing_lx64.deb
$ sudo fing -n 192.168.1.0/24 -r 1

Here is the result on the unrooted mobile phone:

Here is the result on the desktop/laptop:
---------------------------------------------------------------
| State | Host | MAC Address | Last change |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| UP | 192.168.1.1 | 84:1B:5E:CC:A3:FF | |
| UP | 192.168.1.2 | 5C:0A:5B:C4:22:51 | |
| UP | 192.168.1.3 | 00:18:61:00:A4:CE | |
| UP | 192.168.1.4 | 00:1F:3B:AA:D0:4A | |
| UP | 192.168.1.5 | 40:B0:FA:88:33:A1 | |
| UP | 192.168.1.8 | 40:B0:FA:88:33:A1 | |
| UP | 192.168.1.9 | F8:D0:AC:DD:5A:FF | |
| UP | 192.168.1.10 | 00:14:22:FF:56:31 | |
| UP | 192.168.1.11 | 00:80:05:AA:43:55 | |
| UP | 192.168.1.116 | 00:10:83:00:8A:FF | |
| UP | 192.168.1.200 | 00:16:B6:53:66:91 | |
---------------------------------------------------------------

These failed to report *all* devices (hence they're useless):
$ sudo netdiscover -i wlan0 -r 192.168.1.0/24
$ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet

Now we finally have a way to list *all* the devices on the network!

Of course it is also a closed source program, as far as I can see, so
for all we know, it reports all those devices back "home"

[Whiskers]

So start 'etherape' or some other packet sniffer before running fing.
