I've been trying to get VirtualBox bridged networking working (full configuration is below). When I start a VM that uses bridged networking over a remote X session, VirtualBox seems to stall for a bit, then I see my remote SSH session drops. Other SSH connections seem to be ok, but they might just not be active during that time. I see none of these issues when using a NAT interface.
I compiled it from ports with these options:
And it installed correctly.
My OS environment:
VirtualBox kernel modules (I can't remember the order they were loaded in):
Finally, the VirtualBox devices
I compiled it from ports with these options:
- DBUS
- DEBUG
- NLS
- QT4
- UDPTUNNEL
- VNC
- X11
And it installed correctly.

$ sudo pkg_info | grep virtualbox
