The vbox emulates this adapter
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (8254OEM)
In the kernel 3.3.8-gentoo I compiled the
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Support
I compiled directly into the kernel. If I had used a module the module
name would have been e1000.

The contents of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log below do indicate a mess up
with eth1 and eth0. Any idea on how to fix this?
