Thanks Glen!
I don't know what exactly happens with the Internet Sharing - but I
turned it on, and the command line scanning program is finally able to
see the device and report an IP address for it.
I guess this enables the airport base station to assign act as a DHCP
server and assign an address to a connected device? Does internet
sharing set up a bridge between devices connected to the Mac by other
ethernet ports, and the airport base? In any case, that single change
has enabled detection of the device.
