[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 3.1.8 / bridged networking on oi_148 x86 host

[Lou Picciano]

Dave, 


I've been using latest VirtualBox (4.1) on OpenIndiana 148b or so, and having good luck so far. 


You and I are both suffering with RealTek Gigabit interfaces, which I've been warned off of. Still, for the moment at least, things look pretty good.

Hi All, 

I have a couple of VMs I keep hanging around which use VirtualBox 
bridged networking. I fire them up infrequently enough to not notice 
that apparently since upgrading my host to oi_148 bridged networking is 
broken. 

I see the following error message when attempting to launch the VMs in 
question: 

"Failed to start the virtual machine Ubuntu8.04. 
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-rge0 
- Realtek Gigabit Ethernet' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). 
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)." 

Swtiching to NAT works fine. Anyone else seen this?
