hello,

basicly i got the same problem but with type 113 (linux cooked capture)..

i havent tried to recompile but after peeking at the code i noticed that 
nmap failed to find out the offsets for my datalink type
since nmap and ethereal use pcap i took a look at the ethereal code :)

and voila the correct offset for "linux cooked capture" is 16
the patch is actually very simple..
just look in tcpip.c and it should be clear what to do :)
(case DLT_LINUX_SLL: offset = 16; break;)

hope this helps anyone with similar problems..

oh and one question: can anyone explain why recompiling with rh7/gcc 
worked? maybe another libpcap??
