We're getting an unexpected error in native code on Solaris when calling

the ioctl() that returns hardware MAC addresses for certain kinds of NetworkInterface. So, the fix is not to throw an exception, but to return a null byte[] instead.

The fix also adds support for the new Solaris 11 SIOCGLIFHWADDR ioctl()

Thanks,
Michael.

This looks fine to me.
