Move W7 guest from Mac Host to Linux Host: NIC drivers

[mreys]

I installed a Windows 7 guest on my home machine, which is the latest release of MacOS on a 2yr old MBP. Everything works fine.
I moved the image to my Linux laptop and the issue arose where my NIC is detected but no drivers are detected.

When I do "manage computer", and click on Device Manager, I see one thing under "Other devices": and Ethernet Controller. I guess this means that Windows has properly detected the card.
There's a little yellow exclamation mark, upon double-clicking I see that the device status is the following:

Code: Select all

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

I tried to update drive, to no avail. I tried re-installing the Virtualbox Guest Additions, unfortunately no success.

Anyone out there with some Windows knowledge with some hints on how to get this working?

Did you select the same VM lan device on the other Host?
