What WinPcap name is behind that 'eth6' device then? Use 
'nmap --iflist' to check. In my case (I only have eth0+1), it shows:

And BTW, you can force nmap to use a specific device by using 'nmap -e eth1'.
But then you probably need the '-S <ip>' option too. Use a .bat-file or an 
alias to make this simpler for you.
