Hi,
I'm running VirtualBox headless on Ubuntu Server and I'm having some trouble getting the nic of my guest Ubuntu Desktop configured. When I try to set it up like this:
VBoxManage modifyvm "Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop" --nic1 bridged –-nictype1 82540OEM --bridgeadapter1 eno1
it just throws me:
VBoxManage: error: Invalid parameter '–-nictype1'
I already verified if I have some odd version where this parameter is not available or something like that, and this is not the case. When I type VBoxManage modifyvm I can see '--nictype<1-N> in the parameters available.
Any suggestions?

Version of VirtualBox?
Where did you get the install from, repo or virtualbox.org?

Re: nictype1 Invalid Parameter
Typo?
–-nictype1 82540OEM should be –-nictype1 82540EM
–-nictype1 82540OEM should be –-nictype1 82540EM
