The following works for me -- I know it's different because I'm using
tap0, but the principle should be the same. I had to run (on debian)
/etc/init.d/networking restart
three times before the error messages went away -- I think because
originally I had the tap0 entry after the bridge in the file, and the
bridge definition complained that tap0 didn't exist.
Note that there's no separate entry for eth0 at all -- that's what the
VirtualBox documentation says is correct.
