VirtualBox can not connect to interface bond0 (link aggregation)

[Caesar-NL]

I have set up link aggregation on my AS5202T. That means that the interfaces eth0 and eth1 are used as slaves for the virtual interface bond0, and bond0 is the only IP interface.

VirtualBox however can not see bond0. It can see the virtual interfaces bond1, bond2 and bond3, but those are not active, and can not be made active, so they can not be used.

Does any one know why this is, and what can be done about it?

I have asked the same question in the VirtualBox forum.

I solved the problem.

I opened a Putty session to the NAS , and submitted the command < ifconfig bond0 promiscuous > , and interface bond0 became visible in VirtualBox.
