Re: nmap --iflist fails when firewire network interface exists

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

thanos,

Thank you for the bug report. This is unfortunately the way Nmap handles
unknown interface types. If you could apply the patch below, we should be
able to add this interface type:


diff --git a/libdnet-stripped/src/addr.c b/libdnet-stripped/src/addr.c
index 8953b5b..58ccbf4 100644
--- a/libdnet-stripped/src/addr.c
+++ b/libdnet-stripped/src/addr.c
@@ -350,6 +350,7 @@ addr_ston(const struct sockaddr *sa, struct addr *a)
                memset(&a->addr_eth, 0, ETH_ADDR_LEN);
                break;
        default:
+               fprintf(stderr, "Unknown interface type or address family:
%u\n", sa->sa_family);
                errno = EINVAL;
                return (-1);
        }


Thanks for your help!

Dan
