1 Hello,
2
3 Until a few months ago I had VirtualBox bridged networking working fine
4 on my netbook with no ethernet port. When I would start a VM it
5 automatically created a virtual wired connection. I never payed
6 attention to the details but the NetworkManager would switch to the
7 "wired" icon and a connection called "Wired Connection 1" or something
8 of that sort was activated.

10 Then a few months ago it stopped working. Everything seems fine but the
11 guests (same for Linux, Windows, and Solaris guests) just can't get an
12 address from DHCP. Now I'm setting up a new laptop and I'm having the
13 exact same problem except this one also has an ethernet port and it
14 works just fine. I tried all the promiscuous mode and adapter type
15 settings, nothing works.
