Second Host only network adapter disappers in GUI

[sha]

In the VirtualBox GUI window, its possible to configure multiple host only network adapters. But the configured adapaters are not read in next time you start the GUI interface.

• Below are the steps to reproduce this issue.

• File > Preferences > From VirtualBox Settings dialog (Network) > Click + to add another host only network adapter)
• An option is available to configure, IPV4/IPV6 and DHCP server configuration.
• After the configuration of second Virtualbox Host only network adapater is done, Click ok.
• Settings are now saved. It can be seen that the adapter is written to VirtualBox.xml file.
• Close virtual box GUI now.
• Confirm that the newly created host only adapter is present in virtualbox.xml file from command line.
• start the VirtualBox GUI again.
• Choose ( File > Preferences > Network > puff ..... the second adapater is NOT listed. )
• Choosing + to add the network adapter, does read all the settings from the virtualbox.xml, meaning, all the configuration values previously entered are available.
