VirtualBox network patches for FreeBSD (vboxnetflt + vboxnetadp)

[Marin Atanasov]

Hi,

Yesterday I did an upgrade of the Virtualbox port from 3.0.51.r22226 to
3.0.51.r22683.

However I tried changing the network settings to Bridge mode and Host only
networking, but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Are Fredrik's patches included in the latest port of Virtualbox or I still
need to apply them manually?
Also one more question about the patches - are they supposed to create the
bridge interfaces automatically or I need to create them manually first
before using them?

Regards,
Marin
