Hello guys,

I successfully built and installed VirtualBox 6.1 from slackbuilds and everything is working as they supposed to be. The only issue I encountered is bridged adapter is not working I am getting ;

I think error is related to a kernel module but I don't know which one. Can anyone point me into the right direction ?

Thanks

Does that error come from within a VM (and, if so, of what OS?) or from the VB host?

Error appears within the host interface, independent of the operating system

I've used VB for years and not encountered such an error, so all I can do is ask another question.

Do you have a VM installed, and can that VM access the internet?

I have another thought. In the VirtualBox settings dialog for each VM, at Settings-->Network-->Adapter 1-->Advanced-->Adapter Type, there are usually several adapter types that can be selected. Have you tried cycling through the various "Adapter Types" to see whether one of the works?

In my experience, VB's default choice is usually correct, but occasionally I've found that I've had to try the others to find the one that works.

Thats correct I have also been using VBox from the earliest days of before Oracle ownership and with the default settings built and installed there should not be any issue regarding switching between network interfaces. I built 7.0 from source on a different device running Debian and bridged adapter is performing perfectly. There is a section I suppose in slackbuild file from slackbuilds that corresponds to a different kernel module which can provide bridged networking functionality. This would be my diagnostic so far

At this point, I got nothing.

Maybe if you start VB from the command line and replicate your commands, you might get more helpful error messages, but I will freely admit I'm grasping as straws here!

Probably the guy who prepared the build script disabled kernel modules required to bridged networking for security reasons. We'll see if someone else might provide more useful info on this particular issue
