Broke my embedded NIC, I used a recycled pci NIC.
While trying to use nmap (ver. 6.47, both command line or Zenmap same version) with Winpcap ver. 4.1.3, the following 
output is displayed:

Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2015-05-21 09:56 ora legale Europa occidentale

dnet: Failed to open device eth0

QUITTING!

here's the ouput of nmap --iflist

I suppose the first NIC when I installed nmap was eth0 with ip address ending with 39. Again, I think the new device 
got the new ip address (ending 2).
Above, eth0 (old nic?) has the new ip address, but it's not listed under WINDEVICE column, while eth1 (new?) has the 
old ip and is listed under WINDEVICE column.
No Preferences nor Settings in Zenmap menus to select NIC to use or update configuration.

Thanks and....great tool Fyodor!!!
