What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.use a 3G connection
2.start armitage
3.run an nmap scan

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

msf > db_nmap --min-hostgroup 96 -T4 -A -v -n **.**.**.**/24
[*] Nmap: Starting Nmap 5.61TEST4 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-01-02 20:08 GMT
[*] Nmap: NSE: Loaded 91 scripts for scanning.
[*] Nmap: NSE: Script Pre-scanning.
[*] Nmap: 'route_dst_netlink: can't find interface "ppp0"'

What version of Metasploit are you using (type: svn info)? On which
operating system?

metasploit v4.5.0-dev [core:4.5 api:1.0]
backtrack 5r3 (completely up to date @ 2013-01-02)

Which database are you using?

Please provide any additional information below.

i couldn't find any reference of this on Google so im assuming
this error is a bug!

Maybe it is a bug, but it's certainly not an armitage bug. Armitage is 
displaying the output of nmap to you, including the command switches it used. I 
recommend trying to reproduce with nmap on the command line (use nmap instead 
of db_nmap, same switches) and then looking for help within the nmap community.

Ok, but i can perform the scan from the terminal and zenmap with the same 
arguments and there's no problems.

Ok, that's fine. The Metasploit Framework distributes its own nmap version. So, 
to figure out what's going on with it:

source /path/to/metasploit/scripts/setenv.sh
nmap [switches] [whatever]

That should help reproduce the error that's taking place without Armitage.
