I may be wrong here, but I thought that the original post was looking for
an ethernet tap for perform protocol analysis. Nmap is a port scanner
which simply probes a host an reports on which services are available on
that host. Tcpdump or Network Monitor for the NT would be a better example
of a sniffer.
I think however the person was looking to build a tap rather than placing a
device in promiscuous mode (which is detectable). I'm not sure if the taps
are detectable or not.
As far as port scanning Nmap is pretty complete.
