OpenSolaris now supports capturing traffic from loopback interfaces. Since
build 130 we have updated libpcap library which offers new IPNET layer to
Wireshark. But Wireshark don't understand the data. 

$ tshark -i lo0
Capturing on lo0
tshark: The file "/var/tmp/wiresharkXXXXiMayzc" is a capture for a network type
that TShark doesn't support.
(pcap: network type 226 unknown or unsupported)
0 packets captured

$ tshark -L
Data link types (use option -y to set):
  EN10MB
 (Ethernet)

  IPNET

There is attached patch which allows Wireshark to decode IPNET data via raw
packet dissector.
