Summary	0007568: 2nd ethernet adapter problem
Description	When using Oracle VirtualBox to host a Kali Linux 2021-4a VM I am having a problem. I define 2 adapters to Kali, adapter 1 is a host-only adapter and adapter 2 is bridged to allow connectivity to the internet. Both adapters won't come online. I followed the directions here: https://linux.security10x.com/linux-configuration-tutorial/enable-eth1-interface-in-kali-linux But it only corrects the problem sometimes. I'm teaching a class and using Kali in it. The students with the problem are running Windows 10. I can sporadically reproduce the problem. Sometimes, walking through the steps works fine, and sometimes it doesn't. I was running 2021-1 and didn't have this problem. My students are running 2021-4a.
Steps To Reproduce	Create VM in OVB. Import the kali OVA file. Update settings -> network -> adapter 1 = host-only adapter Update settings -> network -> adapter 2 = bridged adapter start the VM ifconfig - IP only assigned to one adapter. Looking at /etc/network/interfaces I don't see entries for eth0 or eth1... only lo. This change sometimes solves the problem: cd /etc/network echo “allow-hotplug eth0” >> interfaces echo “iface eth0 inet dhcp” >> interfaces echo “allow-hotplug eth1” >> interfaces echo “iface eth1 inet dhcp” >> interfaces ifup eth0 ifup eth1
