That message is a warning from the kernel that the named process
(arp-discovery) is trying to use an obsolete method for accessing raw
packets on the network interface.
In a future version of the kernel, that interface will be removed
entirely, so the software should be ported to use the new version.[1]
Your software should work correctly, however, despite the warning.
