eth0 is, normally, the identifier of an ethernet card (the one with the
cable); wireless interfaces start with "w".

To see all the interfaces available on your system use either "ifconfig" or
"ip link show", then use that in nmap.

FYI newer Linux versions are using a different way of identifying cards, so
your card could be called something like wlp2s0.
