If Vbox did try to install the crossbow driver, he should have noticed it fail to load as there are three kernel calls that that driver expects to find but will be unable to find.

In any case, the vbox streams driver is problematic and cuts off the network from time to time. That's why I tried to force the installation of the crossbow driver only to find out that they are depending on three new vnic_{create|delete|modify} calls that illumos does not have.

So that would explain that problem.

Not necessarily (if Christopher is right, and I don't remember needing
it either), but worth a try if you ever return to this idea (the notice
didn't appear in the Wiki out of the blue, right? ;) )

Just in case, you'd know to try this installation at a moment when a
downtime is acceptable, perhaps having shut down or frozen critical
services like a database (to avoid dirty shutdowns and long repairs),
and making a backup BE. Since you do expect a problem, better be ready ;)

Good luck,
