Solved: Host:Ubuntu 15.10 VM:Win7 Upgrade to 5.0.26 lost network cards
Posted: 5. Aug 2016, 06:59
I was surprised to find that from 5.0.22 to 5.0.26 my network cards were no longer visible on the win7 host that I use every day for connections to multiple unix servers with superputty and webex.
vbox had just upgraded to 5.0.26 and I had not reconfigured any settings.
The adapters in 5.0.26 had changed
To:
Adapter 1: NAT, Adapter Type: PCnet-PCI II(Am79C970A)
Adapter 2: Bridged Adapter, wlan0, Adapter Type: PCnet-PCI II(Am79C970A)
From:
Adapter 1: NAT, Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT desktop (8254OEM)
Adapter 2: Bridged Adapter, wlan0, Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT desktop (8254OEM)
I changed them back to Intel PRO and breathed a sigh of relief.
My machine is a lenovo T440p with Intel® Core™ i5-4300M CPU @ 2.60GHz × 4 chipset
