Yep:

$ dladm show-link
LINK        CLASS     MTU    STATE    BRIDGE     OVER
rge0        phys      1500   up       --         --
vboxnet0    phys      1500   unknown  --         --
e1000g0     phys      1500   unknown  --         --


As you can see, I have an Intel gigabit card in the box as well, and 
VirtualBox don't like it either for bridged networking. I'll just go 
with VirtualBox 4.x.

Cheers,
