[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#502574: virtualbox-ose 1.6.6-dfsg-2: Host Interface Network not working.

[Patrick Yuen]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I am trying to connect Host Interface Network following documents on the
/usr/share/doc/virtualbox-ose/

1 ... Both README.Debian.gz and README.Debian.html have the same content
which does not require bridge-utils package and did not work.

=== Command ===
VBoxAddIF vbox0 userA br0

=== Result /etc/vbox/interface ===
vbox0 userA br0

=== Modify /etc/network/interface ===

iface vbox0 inet static
	address 192.168.3.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	virtualbox-user userA

- - - -

2 ... wiki.html is basically a copy of
http://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBoxwhich requires bridge-utils package
and also did not work.

=== Command ===
aptitude install bridge-utils

=== Modify /etc/network/interface ===

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# An entry for eth0 is no longer needed
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Create the bridge (with the regular IP address of the host)
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_fd 2.5

=== Command ===
/etc/init.d/networking restart

=== Command ===
VBoxAddIF vbox0 userA br0

=== Result /etc/vbox/interface ===
vbox0 userA br0

=== Command ===
/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose restart

And i did change the setting of virtualbox attached to = Host Interface and
Interface Name = vbox0 in both cases.

Is this a documenation bug or software bug ?

Thanks.
