4 <title>Installing the Alternate Bridged Networking Driver on Oracle Solaris 11
5 Hosts</title>
6
7 <body>
8 <p>
9 Oracle VM VirtualBox 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 Oracle VM VirtualBox 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 Oracle VM VirtualBox 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 Oracle VM VirtualBox,
28 execute:
29 </p>
30 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ modinfo | grep vbox</pre>
31 <p>
32 If the output contains "vboxbow", it indicates Oracle VM VirtualBox is
33 using the Crossbow network filter driver, while the name "vboxflt"
34 indicates usage of the older STREAMS network filter.
