Thomas, thanks!
Your suggestion to include the lines:
driver name=tap
driver name=tun
in the manifest solved it for me! Wow.

Although the build process with "pkgtool"/"pkgbuild" and the script as shown
by your first link seem old, and even though they probably might still work,
I used the build process as documented by Solaris here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/o11-097-cre
ate-pkg-ips-524496.html
Combined this with the two "driver name"-lines and bingo!

Your second link - of the OpenCSW project - got me a nice manifest to
compare to and with it polish some other settings. Nice. 

I am not sure however on how to participate in a public repository or share
my recipes any other way; I'm still learning and am not sure, security wise,
on how to allow access to my personal repository and maintain it on a public
level. Suggestions are always welcome though.

Thanks again!
Greetings,
Andries

Hi Andries,

does your IPS manifest have an "action" to add the driver entries "tun" and
"tap"?

If you scroll down here to the %action section:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pkgbuild/code/HEAD/tree/spec-files-extra/trunk/SFE
tun.spec
This results if built with "pkgtool"/"pkbbuild" to an entry in the manifest
file like this:
driver name=tap
driver name=tun

A ready-made package is available here:
http://sfe.opencsw.org/quickrepolinks
(fully independent of OpenCSW project, but kindly hosted by them)

Btw, it would be cool if you could share your build recipes and / or 
participate in one of the public repositories for build recipes.

Regards,
Thomas
