Thanks Rickard. I went ahead configuring the network on ubuntu boot with
the script posted below. On a mac host with packer 1.3.1 this works well.
However when running in a circleci <https://circleci.com> pipeline, packer
build hangs on ssh:
==> virtualbox-ovf: Waiting for SSH to become available...==> virtualbox-ovf:
Timeout waiting for SSH.
I guess there is no dhcp in circleci so tried installing a dhcp server but
that did not solve the problem as well.
```
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /etc/network/interfaces ]; then
mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
fi
echo "# generated on startup" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo >> /etc/network/interfaces
for networkfile in /sys/class/net/*; do
[ -e "$networkfile" ] || continue
[ "$networkfile" != "/sys/class/net/lo" ] || continue
networkname=$(basename $networkfile)
echo auto $networkname >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo iface $networkname inet dhcp >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo >> /etc/network/interfaces
done
cat /etc/network/interfaces
ifreload -a
```
