nmap uses ipaddr2devname to figure out what interface to use

either specify your device using "-e" like: "nmap -e pcelx0" or
"nmap -e hme0"
or possibly setting up a /etc/hostname.*interface* might work

hi;

Thanks !

It was the missing -e iprb0 argument. I was fooled by some code in libpcap which iterates through the
device list to pick a
default interface. It does it the wrong way (pointing to Loopback).
