Re: NMAP v5 on Solaris 9 x86 can't open/find interface

["Joseph S. Dietz, Jr." <joedietzjr () is-s com>]

David,

nmap-3.75 works fine...
nmap-4.11 could not get to compile
nmap-4.20 fails to open interface
nmap-4.62 interface route issue
nmap-5.00 interface route issue -- might this be due to interface 
"instances"?

Details below

Thank you for taking a look at this...
Joe

getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (e1000g0).
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!
