There is no need for this, virtualbox (at least 2.1 onwards) can do this using the ethernet device directly, no need for a bridge, in fact, this even works with a wireless card, which surprised me (I'm using ath5k). > Now if you have the time and energy, it'd be interesting if you can > duplicate the error with network-manager (should be quick to install > and deinstall again, it does not depend on much afaik).

The problem is that I don't have the time right now, I'd suggest you assign it to the gnome guys, if they need any help from me I'll be around, but I don't have experience with gnome and thus it may be difficult for me to replicate this. I really think this is a problem with gnome, seems to me that gnome somehow is running a dhcp over eth2 even though you have just configured br0, don't know gnome gnome got this eth2 idea from :-?
