Network interface not found error after upgrading to 6.1.0

Reported by: Stooxie Owned by:
Component: network Version: VirtualBox 6.1.2

Guest type: all Host type: Mac OS X

Description

After upgrading to VB 6.1.0 and still with 6.1.2 I get the following error when trying to start both Windows and Linux VMs:

Could not start the machine Linux OBI 7.2.64.0 because the following physical network interfaces were not found: en4: Thunderbolt Ethernet Slot 2 (adapter 1) You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.

This always worked before. This is a MacOS Catalina host (10.15.2) using a wired ethernet connection off a Thunderport dock. The interface name is "en4: Thunderbolt Ethernet Slot 2". I am using this in bridge mode. Switching to NAT works fine.

Setting the interface to NAT does not work for me either. The VM starts, but no network connections are available.

en4 is up an running with

en4: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	options=40b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_HWTAGGING,CHANNEL_IO>
	ether (MAC) 
	inet6 fe80::(MAC)%en4 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0xf 
	inet 192.168.1.107 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
	inet6 2003:c4:b70c:aefa:(MAC) prefixlen 64 autoconf secured 
	inet6 2003:c4:b70c:aefa:(MAC) prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary 
	nd6 options=201<PERFORMNUD,DAD>
	media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control,energy-efficient-ethernet>)
	status: active

Only solution to get the network running is to enable (and use) wifi.

Please provide VM's VBox.log, as well as the output of "VBoxManage list bridgedifs".
