Virtualbox 2.1.0 host interface problem [SOLVED]

Yesterday, I installed the latest version of Virtualbox (2.1.0) but the host interface doesn't work properly. When I start a virtual os I get the following message:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-br0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Re: Virtualbox 2.1.0 host interface problem [SOLVED]

that happens when you don't read  messages that pacman are output when you install virtualbox

- Add "vboxdrv" to the MODULES array in your "/etc/rc.conf"
- Add "vboxnetflt" to MODULES if you want Host Interface networking.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I had the same problem, except I can't load the vboxflt module (FATAL: Module vboxflt not found). I tried "locate vboxflt", and came up with nothing. How do I install that? I'm using VBox 2.1.2_OSE. The vboxdrv module loads fine.

Thanks

Nevermind, I see that this is a known bug (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12965). That sucks.
