VirtualBox crashes on adding hostif to Virtual Machine

[polki]

Hi guys!
Don't know if i'm just doing some stuff wrong or if this is a bug. Host is Debian.

I'm running the following commands and getting the failure seen after the last command:

Code: Select all

First of all i thought it's a user issue and user 'xyz' just misses some rights, but even with root i get the same failure...

Anyone got any idea what the problem could be?
