What is vague - what further details may I provide? I am happy to comply with any request... I'm really not sure what else may be useful but am happy to dig up whatever information I can. What is esoteric? I'm just trying to use one of the standard networking modes of VirtualBox and it doesn't work without manual intervention... I'd live with manually bringing up the interface and not worrying about it, however the interface does not come into existence when the virtualbox kernel modules are loaded - it only comes into existence when the first VM is started and fails to come up properly, so I can't just do a manual workaround without pain - I have to boot up some VM in a broken state first. :/ > As for another list?

I have honestly never even looked into the commercial option of VirtualBox or the pricing, but I'm generally a very happy user of it for a long time now. :) > Or you could ask on a specific list for your Linux distribution since > each and every one of those appears to be so different from each other. I can try that too, but I kind of doubt that it has to do with the distribution, as except for those that like to heavily patch their kernels, it's pretty standard - just a collection of certain versions of packages. What is different in my case is that I started with a pretty minimal kernel and set of packages whereas most distributions will pack in everything but the kitchen sink, which is why I was curious if there were some known dependencies that might not be checked for at compile-time. I would expect there to be an error logged somewhere in any case, and am not sure I know all the right places to check for that.
