I'm trying to use a VNIC on top of an emulated physical adapter in an

I can create and configure the VNIC, but the network traffic I try to
send on it doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Note that I'm not talking about VNICs on the host for bridged
networking, but rather a VNIC on the guest itself. I do have bridged
networking configured for the guest, in case that matters.
The VM probably doesn't receive packets for the MAC address of the
VNIC, as VirtualBox has no way of knowing that guest wants to see
those packets.
This is a common problem when using the VNIC code inside a virtual
machine.
Thanks, David. I filed a bug against VirtualBox:

Thanks,
