4 <title>Installing the Alternate Bridged Networking Driver on Oracle Solaris 11
5 Hosts</title>
6
7 <body>
8 <p>
9 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> includes a network filter driver that utilizes
10 Oracle Solaris 11's Crossbow functionality. By default, this new
11 driver is installed for Oracle Solaris 11 hosts that have support
12 for it.
13 </p>
14 <p>
15 To force installation of the older STREAMS based network filter
16 driver, execute as root the following command before installing
17 the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package:
18 </p>
19 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxflt</pre>
20 <p>
21 To force installation of the Crossbow based network filter driver,
22 execute as root the following command before installing the
23 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package:
24 </p>
25 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxbow</pre>
26 <p>
27 To check which driver is currently being used by <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>,
28 execute:
29 </p>
30 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ modinfo | grep vbox</pre>
31 <p>
32 If the output contains "vboxbow", it indicates <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is
33 using the Crossbow network filter driver, while the name "vboxflt"
34 indicates usage of the older STREAMS network filter.
