Description

I’m new to the ish app, and I’ve been trying to run nmap on it. I run it on an IPad Pro (2020)

I run the following command:

`nmap 192.168.128.1`

But it shows this error many times before showing the scan result:

> Problem binding to interface , errno: 22
socket_bindtodevice: Invalid argument

While the scan result actually outputs correctly, this keeps happening in any type of scan to any IP.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing `nmap 192.168.128.1` on an iPad Pro in ish and trace the repeated interface-binding error; done means scans no longer emit the invalid-argument message while still returning results.
