Hello, Just in time for version 4.0001 :) While investigating a problem with nmap scanning hosts on a local network, I found the error I got ("WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned 4294967295 rather than expected 42", followed by the message the host is down, where it was not) contained an error :) Quick fix to scan_engine.cc (including the printing of some extra info): @@ -2060,7 +2060,7 @@ - error("WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned %u rather than expected %d\n", rc, (int) sizeof(frame)); + error("WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned %i rather than expected %d (errno=%i)\n", rc, (int) sizeof(frame), errno); The problem itself turned out to be the particular version of the linux kernel I was running, giving -EINVAL. This was easily fixed by upgrading to the latest-and-greatest.
