running out of BPF devices

[Petar Bogdanovic <p+netbsd () 2005 smokva net>]

Hi!

I recently updated to nmap 4.01 and have since then the following 
problem on NetBSD 3.0:

**********************************************************
Starting Nmap 4.01 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (fxp0). A possible
cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see
http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/0014.html).
QUITTING!
**********************************************************

Unfortunately, the printed link couldn't help, because since more than 
17 months, the NetBSD-bpf is a cloning device.

I posted this already on netbsd-users:

Am I doing something wrong?


Thank you & with kind regards,

Petar Bogdanovic


P.S: Maybe, someone will find the attached (kdump-ed) ktrace* useful.

     *) 'ktrace nmap -sS -P0 -T aggressive $IPADDR'
