Issue with the network interfaces

Hi All, While using nmap to discover an asset, if an user switches from ethernet to wireless, or vice versa, nmap quits saying "failed to determine dst mac address for target". While we invoke "nmap --iflist", what we observe is, the disconnected network interface still shows up in the list of interfaces. To make things work, either one of the following needs to be done. i) Disable the disconnected network adapter from the network connections and re-enabling it helps nmap to pick the right adapter. ii) Figure out the right adapter from the iflist output and use it to launch nmap. "nmap -e eth5 10.1.5.1" Is there a way by which one can force nmap to re-enumerate available/connected interfaces? Or a windows service that can be restarted which help nmap find the right adapters in any point in time? Thanks in advance. Addition info: Tried nmap versions 5.61 and 6.25 on Windows 7.
