Sniffing a network interface with libpcap in a Solaris Zone

[Joseph Freemaker <joseph_freemaker () yahoo com>]

Using libpcap 1.3.0.

libpcap had a patch applied in October of 2011 for the Solaris Zone.

However when libpcap is used with a C program (that is very similar to tcpdump - makes the same calls) that is run in a 
Solaris Zone (Solaris 10) the 
following message is received:

A network mask
lookup for ce0 could not be completed
due to a
'SIOCGIFADDR: ce0: No such device or address' error condition.

Is anyone familiar with what the procedure is to use libpcap for a Solaris Zone? The Solaris snoop utility can open the 
network interface and sniff the packet flow.

Thanks in advance.Joe-
