Description
I've created a new interface vboxnet1, this interface is not persistent across reboot/vboxdrv reload If I add it again from the graphical console, every field is already set as i previously did; it seems that VirtualBox store the vboxnet1 configuration somewhere, but it doesn't create the interface automatically on startup.

Confirmed on VirtualBox 3.1.6 running on openSuse 11.2 2.6.31.12-0.1-default kernel.
Any host-only interfaces except the first one (vboxnet0) don't show up again after a restart of the service or the host. The interface settings persist in the VirtualBox.xml file.

Confirmed. Bug still not fixed in the upcoming release 3.1.8 but we hope to get a fix into 3.2.0.

Found a little workaround for this bug: I added the line /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetAdpCtl add in the init scripts, one line for each adapter previously configured. In this way the devices are created at boot time.
