The "Bridged Adapter" network setting requires that a specific network adapter be selected for a VM, and that adapter can't be changed without powering down the guest. For mobile users that frequently switch between wired and wireless network connections, this can be a problem.

It would be ideal if VirtualBox offered an Automatic setting which connected the guest's bridged network adapter to the host's physical interface using a set of rules such as the following:

1. If the guest's IP address (based on packet SRC?) matched a directly-connected subnet on the host, use the interface that connects to that subnet.
2. If the guest sends a DHCP request, route the request through the physical interface designated as the default route.
3. If the guest's IP address cannot be determined, or does not match any directly-connected subnets on the host, use the physical interface designated as the default route.

An Automatic setting of this variety would only work for TCP/IP-based networking, but that's perfectly fine for the majority of applications. In cases where Automatic could not be used, a specific physical interface could still be selected.

I am using Windows XP Professional x32 as the guest OS and Windows 7 Professional x64 as the Host OS. Even after I enable "Automatically Move pointer to the default button in a dialog box" option inside mouse settings on Guest, it is not moving the pointer to the default button.

I enabled the option for host OS also. It is working fine.

After I upgraded the kernel, the VirtualBox, as usual, complained that the VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is not loaded, and I had to execute /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup as root.

Unfortunately, this time, the execution of the rcvboxdrv setup failed with the message "Bad argument setup". I guess this is a regression bug introduced in recent VirtualBox package on Oracle's page.

I guess it is a regression of the .deb package uploaded on the official Oracle Debian repository.

I use Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.16.0-59-generic.

Related to #15055, but on different version of Ubuntu and kernel.
