I am getting an “eth0: no such device” when running android-x86-4.0 on a VirtualBox VM in bridged mode

Question

Recently I installed android-x86-4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop.iso on VirtualBox virtual machine.

After installation I set network type as bridge adapter, eth0 and started the virtual machine then opened terminal emulator and executed netcfg command to determine the IP. But eth0 is not listed there in results.

How I can solve this problem? Did I do some thing wrong?

Answer 1

You should use ifconfig now. Just found out that ifconfig eth0 does not work in my case, because the bridge adapter eth0 of VirtualBox does not show up as eth0 within the android x86. Just use the bare ifconfig command. The IP address found in the output within the wlan section worked in my case in order to do adb connect IP:5555, where IP is the IP address.
