Hi,

The problem is that you are missing an IP address. All protocols
supported by Nping are based on IP, and therefore you need to pass a
target hostname or address through the command line. Currently there is
no way of sending non IP packets (except for ARP). The ethertype you are
using refers to a protocol, "HomePlug AV MME", that is not supported by
Nping.

What exactly would you like to do with Nping? If it is something cool,
we might consider implementing it :)

Best regards,

Luis MartinGarcia.
