Hi out there.
I'm trying to set up VirtualBox bridged networking as described in the wiki by "the arch way"
Here are the relevant details of my config files:
/etc/conf.d/bridges:
bridge_br0="eth0"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
/etc/vbox/interfaces:
vbox0 nofoo br0
(Where nofoo is supposed to be the user running virtualbox)
And finally...
/etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(e1000e snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore bridge vboxdrv vboxnet)
...
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 up"
br0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 br0)
So. I added the user to the vboxusers group.
After a reboot, myifconfig says:
br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:70:0B:D7:11
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Which should be ok.
My settings in VirtualBox itself are the following:
adapted to:host interface
interface name:vbox0
The start and stop program parameters are left empty.
Now, when i try to start my vm, the following error message occurs:
Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).Errorcode:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
Does anyone of you know what went wrong here?

Ok, got the point. I'm now able to answer the question myself.
There's no module called vboxnet to be loaded, i should have read the message which comes up after installing the vbox binary from aur with a bit more attention.
vboxnet has to be added to the DEMONS array.

i just "pacman -S virtualbox-ose" but I do not have the file "/etc/rc.d/vboxnet". I searched through the {core,extra,community}.files.tar.gz tar files as well.

Yeah, I have this same issue. I installed virtualbox-ose using pacman and also don't have /etc/rc.d/vboxnet. I've searched the entire machine and it is nowhere to be found. Did you solve it? Anyone got any ideas?

I ended up using the binary version from AUR. Here[0] is a copy of "/etc/rc.d/vboxnet". Let me know if this works for you.

Note that Vbox 2.1 brings a new way to do networking. I heard they made it much easier now. Didn't try it myself yet though

I did: now it's a matter of loading a special module and selecting the network you'd like to be bridged in vbox settings, done No more tap/tun/headaches..
