OpenSUSE: VBox 2.1.0 - not showing unconfigured Ethernetcard

Post by MelloN »

Hey, I'm new to both VirtualBox and OpenSUSE.
At school, my teacher wants me to use OpenSUSE.

General info;

Installed OpenSUSE 11.1, after this, installed VirtualBox 2.1.0, and got it to work after a bit of time.

The clients starts and there is no problem here, but now i have to create a vyatta server, to share multiple closed networks.

This have to be on a virtual machine.

I have got multiple Ethernet cards, so i do not have any problems here.


Now for the problem;
I do not want to configure my Ethernet cards, in my host OS. But when i run with unconfigured Ethernet cards, use taps that are not configured and so on, they are not showing i VirtualBox 2.1.0

Help please.
