bridged networking doesn't work

[xdnny]

hello.

i have installed virtualbox 3.0.4 PUEL on arch linux with 2.6.30 kernel version. everything went ok, modules were successfully compiled and loaded.

i have created new virtual machine - windows 7 beta and with default NAT networking was everything ok.

but, when i choose bridged networking from wlan0 (my wireless interface is physically working fine with intel's linux iwlan driver), i get this error:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).



i understand that it is something about kernel modules, but i am pretty sure they're loaded.
also i have succeeded to recompile them, but with no effect.

error remains.

So issuing an 'lsmod | grep vb" will give you this as result?

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep vb
vboxnetadp             80168  0 
vboxnetflt             86856  0 
vboxdrv               121864  1 vboxnetflt

The numbers may vary. If you don't see the vboxnetflt, it means the module isn't loaded, probably due to some compile error that isn't noted, but would be strange as the normal kernel module is compiled and working. Maybe something in the kernel config is preventing this module from loading or compiling properly. Did you also check /var/log/vboxinstall.log?

great, thanks for advice.

modules vboxnet* wasn't loaded, so i modprobed them manually and now it works.

as a further solution (in case of arch linux) i suggest write them in /etc/rc.conf to the MODULES section.

error solved.
