This file is used for Ethernet handles on AIX. We had a report from Peter O'Gorman that setting this member to 0 rather than ETH_TYPE_IP was necessary to avoid an EEXIST error on bind. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q4/349 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q4/353 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q4/att-353/aix.patch https://code.google.com/p/libdnet/issues/detail?id=23 However Ben Lentz more recently tried the patch and said that he still got an EEXIST on bind. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q4/327 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q4/395 So who knows what the right thing to do here is. The messages from IBM seem to say that setting ETH_TYPE_IP is definitely wrong though.
