Nmap 6.49BETA4 - unable to find right interface to send packets

[kost]

This problem was orginally submitted at my NetworkMapper project here:
kost/NetworkMapper#6

But, I see it more as Nmap binary problem itself as nmap binary is reporting this.

Nmap is not able to find right interface to send packets. Actually it cannot find any interfaces:

Executing /data/data
org.kost.nmap.android.networkmapper/bin/nmap -F -vvv scanme.nmap.org

We run into this problem on occasion when Linux kernel adds a new ARP_HRD_* constant. See the Nmap modifications to libdnet for examples of previous fixes. Unfortunately, it's often hard to pin down what constant needs to be added.

I tried to write a diagnostic program to get this info, but it has yet to be successful. If you could try it out or figure out a better way, that'd be great. It's attached to this message on the nmap-dev mailing list: https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/165

nmap does not work when running as root for me.

In case it helps, the diagnosis program you posted shows this:

$ ./ifacediag enp0s31f6
Interface enp0s31f6 has ARP_HRD 1

CentOS with some run off the mill networking PC with kernel 3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64. The network output I cannot write up here, but it has some 5 Intel NICs and 2 WAN modems.
