I have a 2nd-gen chromecast, it's factory reset. If i plug it in all it tells me is to install the app to start configuring.
I don't have a google account not do i want to install/use google-related stuff on my phone.
My home router doesn't register any new device, which makes sense since the cast doesn't know the SSID/pass of the WiFi.
Does it try to ping some service/port? Multicast perhaps? Where would it get an IP from without authenticating?
My (wired) PC runs gentoo.
How can i get it to work in these conditions?

Well it's not a network client, it presents its own WiFi network. Got a laptop with a live distro to connect to it and run this script to configure it. Seemed to work, apparently.
Then tried a bunch of clients:
My guess is it needs to phone home to finish setup (the script has wifi name/pass parameters though) or i borked something.
Not gonan waste more time on it, i'll just gift it.
