Disabling USB and the 2nd host only network interface enables the
previously created vm to start up without further errors, but ..
pinging/connecting to an outside host like www.google.com *still* fails for
the previously created vm, even though what appears to be the the same
settings are working for the bridged adapter vm that I created with this
debug release.
