[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#636335: VDE support seems to be non-operational

[Anselm Lingnau]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.0.10-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

In recent versions VirtualBox has stopped offering the »VDE« choice in the
network adapter menus. The feature seems to be enabled during compilation
and even though the vde2 package is installed, the option doesn't show up.
