Summary	0003831: NMAP does not work over onboard wifi on Kali for raspberry pi 3
Description	Whenever trying to scan something over wifi, nmap returns WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned -1 rather than expected 42 (errno=22: Invalid argument) dmesg has a similar message: nmap: packet size is too short (42 <= 50) nmap works flawlessy over the ethernet interface or other wifi dongles. Bettercap generates similar messages in dmesg: packet_queue.r*: packet size is too short (42 <= 50)
Steps To Reproduce	just try to scan something over Wifi: root@kali:~# nmap -sV -A -p0-65535 192.168.1.253 Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-01-13 13:28 UTC WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned -1 rather than expected 42 (errno=22: Invalid argument) WARNING: eth_send of ARP packet returned -1 rather than expected 42 (errno=22: Invalid argument) Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 6.19 seconds
Additional Information	Looks like a problem in the wifi driver; this URL has more information: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1357

sbrun 2017-02-10 11:23 manager ~0006361	the patch for the wifi driver is in the linux kernel since version 4.8.5 kali-rolling currently has linux kernel version 4.9.6. You should upgrade your kernel. Reassigning to Threeway in case he wants to update the prebuilt images.
