Here is what the man page entry for -f says about the issue:What would be the motivation not to imply --send-eth where possible on Linux fragmentation scans?
I agree with Brandon that it probably is a good idea. But even if we change the default to --send-eth in that case, we still have the issue for non Ethernet networks. So it would be good to understand what conditions it happens in. And if it turns out that there is a way to resolve this for raw IP packets (like a sysctl or something), that would likely be an even better solution. But yeah, I didn't mean to sound like I was arguing against Brandon's suggestion. Just sending more notes about the current situation/documentation.
