There *IS* no loopback interface info that can be accessed by libpcap on
Solaris; you simply cannot capture on it on loopback interfaces on
Solaris.

The error message is a bit confusing; on Solaris, to capture on, for
example, "hme0", libpcap opens "/dev/hme" and then connects to unit 0. 
You will probably find that there's no "/dev/lo".
