Incomplete part of the man page.  I think.

ETHERNET OPTIONS
       In most cases Nping sends packets at raw IP level. This means
that Nping creates its own IP packets and trasmits them through a raw
socket. However, in some cases it may be necessary to send packets at
the raw Ethernet level. This happens, for example, when Nping is run
under Windows (as Microsoft has disabled raw socket support since
Windows XP SP2), or when Nping is asked to send ARP packets. Since in
some cases it is necessary to construct ethernet frames, Nping offers
some options to manipulate the different fields.

       --dest-mac mac (Ethernet Destination MAC Address) .
           This option

       --source-mac mac (Ethernet Source MAC Address) .
           Hey...

My first instinct with the --flags option was to try
--flags ASFR
which failed.
Using
--flags ACK,SYN,FIN,RST
was counterintuitive.
The way nping does it is fine, but could you add something to the -h
help to specify how you do it?

Thanks.
