tcpdump for Linux guest

* Using Port versions virtualbox-ose-4.3.24 / virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.3.24

* I use Host-Only for all guests. Network vboxnet0 has DHCP enabled, but some
guests use static-IP/static gateway as defined from within the guest's config.

* Subnet on vboxnet0 is /28 (broadcast 192.168.56.15). There's no guest running
on 192.168.56.1 which is the gateway/DHCP

* I have 3 general classes of guests: *BSD, Windows, Linux and 3 different
things happen re networking when I start these guests.

* Linux guests: cannot ping gateway (192.168.56.1), cannot ping other guests,
can ping itself. netstat shows correct route table.

* Windows guests: Same problem as Linux, netstat shows correct route table.
Then I start a *BSD guest and can now can ping Linux guests, gateway and
outside of subnet. However, network status does not behave in a consistent
manner.

* BSD Guests: Behave as expected, can ping other guests, gateway and outside of
subnet without problems.

* Guests of the other 2 OS categories appear to behave more sanely (conjecture)
if a BSD guest is started first, before the other guests. The BSD guest does
not need to keep running. A simple start/stop is sufficient to activate the
vboxnt0 network path.

* tcpdump on vboxnet0 shows exactly what I have described: No traffic reaches
vboxnet0 from Linux/Windows guests. After a BSD guest is started then stopped,
pinging from the Linux guest shows that traffic reaches vboxnet0, and that it
gets no response:
19:24:05.531541 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.13, length 46
19:24:05.531547 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.13, length 46

* Full tcpdump for startup/shutdown process of the Linux guest is attached.
