+We have integrated a patch from Oracle to use sockets instead of
+DLPI on Solaris 11.  This functionality was written for use with
+Solaris Studio 12.2 and requires the system/header package.

+By default this code is disabled in order to minimize disruptions
+for current users.  In order to enable this code you will need to
+enable both USE_SOCKETS and USE_V4_PKTINFO as part of the
+configuration step.  The command line would be something like:
