Bug Description

In my case, this bug happens when I try to start a VM that has a host-only network interface attached. In that moment, I get the following error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Centos 5.9.
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).

I would set the importance of this bug to "high" as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance ("Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)")
