[I am ssuming you are running VirtualBox on a linux box
and you want a plan9 VM to have network access]
Adapter type on the host doesn't matter. In VirtualBox
settings->Network menu just enable network adapter. The
easiest thing to do is to choose NAT which has some
limitations (but you can forward some TCP ports if you want
external access to your VM). You can also bridge to a host
adapter if there is a DHCP server on your network. The
settings that work for me on a macbookpro:
attached to: bridged adapter name: en0: wi-fi(airport)
adapter type: intel pro/1000 mt desktop
You also need to do some configuration on the plan9 side.
There is probably a better way to do this but I just add the
following to /rc/bin/termrc.local
ndb/cs -f $NDBFILE
ip/ipconfig
ndb/dns -r
TIMESYNCARGCS=(-n pool.ntp.org)
