For me, on the machine I'm testing this on, I have a wired interface
defined in /etc/network/interfaces and a wireless interface controlled
by networkmanager.  When the only active interface is the one defined in
/etc/network/interfaces, then scapy works fine.  If there is no active
interface or if the interface defined in /etc/network/interfaces is not
active, it crashes as you all describe.  It seems to me that there are
two issues here:

1.  Crashes when it can't find the network.  This is clearly a "Bug"
that should be corrected as unexpected input should not crash a program.

2.  Doesn't work the network interfaces not defined in
/etc/network/interfaces.  I think that this is a feature request that
those of you using scapy (I don't) should take to the upstream authors
and ask them to include in a future release.  Talking with them is MUCH
more likely to get this added than filing bugs on Launchpad.
