Unfortunately, it doesn't.. :(

******************************************************
$ sudo nmap -sS -P0 -T aggressive $IPADDR

Starting Nmap 4.03 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-05-14 10:12

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!

uhm. i can't reproduce this. i tried in a few netbsd 3.0 qemu instances
i have sitting around, and just finally got around to a real install of
3.0 - still can't reproduce.  what arch are you on?

does it fail if you do -T 3 (Normal) as well?
