Generally speaking, a Wireshark ML might get you a better response then a
OpenSolaris storage list, but in the past when I had to do packet
inspection (iSCSI), rather then depend on the sender or the receiver, I put
a Cisco switch in between and set a second port to monitor the traffic. (I
imagine other managed ethernet switches have similar settings, but I do not
have enough experience with other brands to know). This port was connected
to an uninvolved NIC, which is where wireshark was listening. This is the
configuration I would recommend, even if you can get the CNA to work (which
i doubt, it's likely to be showing up as a SCSI card, rather then a NIC).
This seemed to give better results then listening on even a SW HBA, and was
far easier to configure then on a hardware HBA.
Offhand, I do not recall the exact setting, but the documentation for the
switch should be able to tell you more.
