Hi,

My kernel is purely a Debian kernel. I did nothing on it (not speificc
settings, etc). What should I do from the topic? Build a new kernel? It
seems to refer so bu,ld options, but I don't build my own kernel. I'm on
3.16-4.

For vboxnet0, it's because I set nic2 to host-only with host-only
adapter set to vboxnet0. But I may change this.

Regards,
