Because only one of them has enabled the VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver in the adapter. Enable it in the properties, and it should turn up.

I would have expected Windows to not allow two devices with the same name. I would have expected the second one to have been called "Intel (R) Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter (2)". Perhaps this indicates that these devices were not installed correctly. E.g. somehow you have two different network connections defined to use the same NIC.

maybe, but it works properly in host system, and maybe problem in driver of intel who supports teaming of network adapters... will try to take some workaround...
