I know! I know!! :-) |

The following assumes baselayout-2 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This is my /etc/conf.d/net: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
bridge_br0="eth0" |
| 15 |
config_eth0="null" |
| 16 |
config_br0="dhcp" |
| 17 |
brctl_br0="setfd 0 sethello 0 stp on" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then run: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
sudo ln -s net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 |
| 22 |
sudo ln -s net.lo /etc/init.d/net.br0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
sudo rc-update add net.eth0 |
| 27 |
sudo rc-update add net.br0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Reboot if you want. After reboot you should have br0 and eth0: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
zoolook@venkman ~ $ sudo ifconfig |
| 33 |
[sudo] password for zoolook: |
| 34 |

| 50 |
|
| 51 |
(note that eth0 does not have ipv4 address) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
After all this, create a small bash script in /usr/bin. I called mine |
| 54 |
addif.sh: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
IF="${1}" |
| 59 |
ACTION="${2}" |
| 60 |
BRIDGE=br0 |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
case "$ACTION" in |
| 63 |
up) |
| 64 |
sudo VBoxAddIF "${IF}" "${LOGNAME}" "${BRIDGE}" >/dev/null 2>&1 |
| 65 |
;; |
| 66 |
down) |
| 67 |
sudo VBoxDeleteIF "${IF}" >/dev/null 2>&1 |
| 68 |
;; |
| 69 |
esac |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
echo $IF |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Add this to /etc/sudores: |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
%vboxusers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/VBoxAddIF, /usr/bin/VBoxDeleteIF |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
Now. Open VirtualBox and configure network like this: |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Attached to: Host Interface |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Setup application: addif.sh vbox0 up |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
terminate application: addif.sh vbox0 down |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
Note that "vbox0" is any name you like. I named mine "xp" or "nt4" or |
| 89 |
"centos" depending on the guest. |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
The interface is create and destroyed on demand. |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
