nmap on current open/solaris

[Darren Reed <darren.reed () oracle com>]

When using nmap on opensolaris, there's a chance it will fail
because it does not understand the IPNET "link layer".

For example:

# nmap victim
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org/ ) at 2010-11-02 15:53 PDT
FATAL: readip_pcap: bogus caplen from libpcap (134493584) on interface 
type 226
QUITTING!

For reference, there is currently code to handle the IPNET header in 
both tcpdump and wireshark.

In addition, as an FYI, the IPNET "link layer" is read-only. Attempting 
to use bpf to send packets using this link layer will result in 100% 
packet loss of packets sent.
