<title>Installing the Alternate Bridged Networking Driver on Oracle Solaris 11
Hosts</title>
<body>
<p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> includes a network filter driver that utilizes Oracle
Solaris 11's Crossbow functionality. By default, this new driver is installed for Oracle Solaris 11 hosts that
have support for it. </p>
<p>To force installation of the older STREAMS based network filter driver, execute as root the following command
before installing the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxflt</pre>
<p>To force installation of the Crossbow based network filter driver, execute as root the following command before
installing the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxbow</pre>
<p>To check which driver is currently being used by <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>, execute: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ modinfo | grep vbox</pre>
<p>If the output contains <i>vboxbow</i>, it indicates <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is
using the Crossbow network filter driver, while the name <i>vboxflt</i> indicates usage of the older STREAMS
network filter. </p>
