Hi Carl.
I have a few OI+VBox boxes in production right now and I haven't
experienced any networking failure. The only part isn't supported is
the crossbow network stack, you need to use the streams version. They
have absolutely been rock solid.
I haven't done anything non-standard with this box, AFAIK. How would I
know if it was using crossbow?
I don't even think crossbow will install on OI, it fails during install
They are all running the 4.2.x version of the software though.
You should file a bug at: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker
Done
Another note: I had major performance gains using the virtio network
type, instead use the Intel version. I was only getting 27MBps on the
virtio, but the PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) got 70MBps using nttcp on
a Windows guest. I haven't done any performance testing on the Linux
or FreeBSD guests yet.
Not sure if that would play nicely with NetBSD 5.x?
They're webservers, the bottleneck is my DSL link, not the speed of
the interfaces.
Have you tried switching to different NIC types? I would give it a
try. I did have a Linux machine that would freeze and I switched to a
different NIC type which fixed it.
I see that the wm driver supports any one of the VBox nic types:
82540EM|82543GC|82545EM
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?wm+4+NetBSD-6.0+i386
As a note, I am running pfsense (freebsd) on with a 82540EM nic type
without any issues. This one is running on an Ubuntu host though....
