Re: pcap_findalldevs can't see loopback on Solaris system

Hi,

I'm writing a sniffer on two platforms: Linux and Solaris.

On the Linux platform I'm able to see the loopback interface when calling pcap_findalldevs, but on Solaris I'm not able 
to.
Why is that?
I'm able to see the loopback when running 'ifconfig -a'

How can I get Solaris to sniff the loopback interface?
