[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#464574: virtualbox-ose: No network in guest machines

[Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.4-dfsg-4
Severity: important

Hi,

I was successfully running virtualbox in Etch, but last week I upgraded
to Lenny, and all my virtual machines have lost net connectivity.

I did purge and install the package with no success, reboot the host,
rebuild the kernel modules, use the provided modules, etc... So far
network doens't work from the guests.

I can reproduce it with an Ubuntu live CD for the matter.

Some info from an Ubuntu live cd guest (sorry I had to type it due to
lack of network):

$ ifconfig
link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 08.....
inet addr: 10.0.2.15 Bcast& mask: OK
UP
No errors
(looks ok)

$ route 
gateway 10.0.2.2 eth0
(looks ok)

$ ping 10.0.2.2
Ok

$ ping $ANY_OTHER_IP
100% packet loss

Regards,

Emilio
