[vbox-dev] VBox Device - Host Driver communication

[Michael Thayer]

Hello,

You should probably look at the sections on host interface networking in
the user manual (sections 6.5 to 6.8).  You should be able to set up
something like you described using that (e.g. by bridging a host
interface to a physical ethernet interface and not assigning the host an
IP address).

Regards,

Michael
