I could not make an HOST-Only Adapter through the Host Network Manager.
VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory.
Resultcode: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: HostNetworkInterfaceWrap
Interface: IHostNetworkInterface {455f8c45-44a0-a470-ba20-27890b96dba9}

Re: Error making Host-only adapter
I'm no Mac guru, but maybe the Virtualbox install was instructed to turn off Host-Only installation. This is an option on Windows hosts, might be an option on Mac, too. Mac also has a lllloooottttt of concern over permissions, so maybe there was a permission that wasn't given?
Try uninstalling and reinstalling Virtualbox with the Mac OS page that controls permissions open.
