Were you able to try this?

I did the following check:

I ran my code, and checked with truss that /dev/bpf was being opened...
So apparently I am running the BPF-based libpcap, but still the
underlying descriptor is never readable or writeable...

P.S.: I'm waiting for some feedback from a fellow solaris dev. I will
keep you posted.

Thanks!

Best regards,
