I've a gentoo installation in Virtualbox which was working perfectly few weeks ago. Then all of a sudden it started complaining.
* Bringing up interface eth0
* ERROR: interface eth0 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start
I thought there was a conflict with MAC address, so I changed MAC in Virtual Box. But that looks unrelated now. I've selected intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (NAT) from VBox. Then I fixed it by removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
What I see Now is eth0 interface is present. But there is no internet. I can't do ssh to gentoo box.
$ sudo ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:78:72:c8
inet addr:192.168.0.10 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

config_eth0="192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1"
I can't even ping router which is at 192.168.0.1

worked BUT docs say I should use Bridged Adapter only if Its in a different subnet. – user36582 – 2013-03-12T18:08:11.750
Docs might be stated in a confusing fashion. "bridged" puts the vb adapter on the same network as your host's adapter - since you're addressing on that network that's what you need. – None – 2013-03-12T18:32:20.937
