When I ran nmap=5.59beta1 with exactly the same configuration above. I got:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# nmap -sS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Starting Nmap 5.59BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-09-18 13:35 EST
route_dst_netlink: can't find interface "wlan0"

I ran the `nmap --iflist' command:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# nmap --iflist

Starting Nmap 5.59BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-09-18 13:38 EST
INTERFACES: NONE FOUND(!)
ROUTES: NONE FOUND(!)

So I decided to downgrade nmap 5.59beta1 back to 5.50 as it worked in the case of casketizer's post:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# apt-get install nmap=5.50-2

Now when I test nmap again, this time running 5.50-2 and it works:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# nmap -sS -vv xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
