The work is truly exemplary and is an awesome example of the type of dedication required for a healthy, successful open source community effort. Secondly, I did run into one issue with VirtualBox 4.1.8 and VIMAGE, which required the attached patch to function properly. I'm not sure of the implications of this apparent reversion in the vboxNetAdpInit() function, but it seems to work for me. The patch in this form or any other is of course free to use in what ever way one would please :) Thanks! --0016e6ddff0af3f87b04b505785a--
