--- Comment #8 from steinex@nognu.de ---
Ok, I can confirm that bridged networking  works again when virtualbox-ose =
is
build from source  when it's complete dependency chain is also built from
ports.

It makes sense to me that virtualbox needs to be compiled against the new
kernel after upgrading, I didn't spot the gcc5 issue, thanks for that.

However, I'm not the original bug submitter and I can relate to the confusi=
on
as of why a package stops working after upgrade to a new minor-release. I s=
ee a
chicken-and-egg problem between quarterlies (and most probably even latest)
packages that provide out-of-tree modules and a new -RELEASE.

I have no stake in here what to do, having a virtualbox-ose package sure is
nice, but having none at all may be less confusing.


tl;dr: bridged networking in virtualbox from ports (2017Q3) with 11.1 is
totally fine, if you compile virtualbox with it's complete dependency chain
from ports and not use packages.
