Hi I've been down this path, Host networking with Vbox OSE does not function, there are packages missing. Unload Vbox OSE from your system, remove all its files. Go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and download the debian version. you will need to have loaded the kernel devel tools, sorry I dont know the name of the debian package, try bsomething like apt-get kernel-devel or source. once thats installed install the innotek virtualbox, your interface will be vbox0. It is well documented forget all about BR0 and tap1 they aren't used .
