You probably built Ethereal with a recent version of libpcap; it turns 
out that code I'd put into libpcap not to include in the list of 
interfaces those interfaces that can't be opened for capture had been 
removed - I just checked in a change to put it back.

There also wasn't code in libpcap to skip Solaris logical interfaces; I 
added that.

Thanks for finding this.

I think you can't add additional IP addresses to an interface that 
already has one IP address except by adding a new logical interface; if 
so, the Solaris libpcap code needs to handle logical interfaces by 
getting their IP address/netmask/etc. and adding those to the list of IP 
addresses for the "real" interface.  I'll look at doing that.
