Hi!

I recently updated to nmap 4.01 and have since then the following 
problem on NetBSD 3.0:

**********************************************************
Starting Nmap 4.01 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (fxp0). A possible
cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see
http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/0014.html).
QUITTING!
**********************************************************

i'm suspecting that 4.03 solves your problem. can you see if it does?

cheers,
okan
