virtualbox-ose 2.0.4-1 host interface problem

Archers,

Yesterday I upgraded my Linux and the network host interface is no longer working:(:(:(. I found that the tun interface have been moved from /dev/net/tun to /dev/misc/tun. What I did before was I created a bridge interface, created some tap interfaces, and put the tap interfaces into the bridge.

Now, My Virtual box can't run if I select host interface. With NAT it is ok. So here is the error message:

Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).

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

And these are the commands I use to create tap interface:

sudo VBoxTunctl -t tap10 -u thaivan -f /dev/tun
sudo VBoxTunctl -t tap11 -u thaivan -f /dev/tun
sudo VBoxTunctl -t tap12 -u thaivan -f /dev/tun
sudo VBoxTunctl -t tap13 -u thaivan -f /dev/tun
sudo brctl addif bridge0 tap10
sudo brctl addif bridge0 tap11
sudo brctl addif bridge0 tap12
sudo brctl addif bridge0 tap13
sudo ifconfig tap10 up
sudo ifconfig tap11 up
sudo ifconfig tap12 up
sudo ifconfig tap13 up

I loaded the vboxdrv module, When I try to load vboxnet and vboxnetflt, these modules do not exist. I am using virtualbox-ose 2.0.4-1

Thanks
