Hi Virtualbox mailing list!
I am posting this thread after getting no response on the forums. I'm
hoping someone can help me.
I am using Virtualbox on a Debian Sid Laptop with bonding on the
Wireless and Ethernet Interfaces.
I had hoped this would allow me to never need to swap the guests bridged
adapter and instead always use bond0. Unfortunately when i'm working on
Wireless the guest loses network access.
On Debian my network interfaces file looks like this:
Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Bonding interface
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond_mode active-backup
bond_primary eth0
bond_miimon 100
bond_downdelay 200
bond_updelay 200
wpa-ssid wifi
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-psk wpapass
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-iface wlan0
slaves eth0 wlan0
So I end up with an interface called bond0 which steals the MAC from
eth0 and enslaves eth0 and wlan0 so I can switch seamlessly from
Ethernet to Wireless and visa versa without losing my IP on the network
- very handy.
But for an unkown reason Virtualbox doesn't like this and will only
operate when the eth0 is connected even though the guest is bridged on
bond0.
Anyone have any idea how I can get Virtualbox working this way?
