Joe,

the subject line is apparently wrong. More comments below.

Did you forget to load the modules?

  sudo depmod -a
  rmmod vboxnetadp
  rmmod vboxnetflt
  rmmod vboxdrv
  modprobe vboxdrv
  modprobe vboxnetflt
  modprobe vboxnetadp

Though you installed the modules to /lib/modules/... it is still
required that you load the new modules. Oh, and make sure that
there are not old vbox* modules left in your modules directory!

Kind regards,

Frank
