Package: nmap

This bug is fixed upstream in nmap-6.01. Here is the relevant changelog entry:
o Fixed a bug that caused Nmap to fail to find any network interface when
at least one of them is in the monitor mode. The fix was to define the
ARP_HRD_IEEE80211_RADIOTAP 802.11 radiotap header identifier in the
libdnet-stripped code. Network interfaces that are in this mode are used
by radiotap for 802.11 frame injection and reception. The bug was
reported by Tom Eichstaedt and Henri Doreau.
