I'm trying to do a vagrant up on a box, and I get the following error.

INFO interface: error: There was an error executing the following command with VBoxManage: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

When doing an INFO on the VAGRANT_LOG, I get

ERROR vagrant: /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.0.6/lib/vagrant/driver/virtualbox_base.rb:278:in `block in execute'

/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.0.6/lib/vagrant/action/warden.rb:33:in `call'

I've tried putting replacing the 'hostonly' in the vagrantfile to 'hostonlyif', but that gives an error message saying that it should be set to 'hostonly'. How do I fix this erro?

The host machine is running archlinux, and I'm using the latest versions of vagrant and virtualbox.

try with this: sudo modprobe vboxnetadp

in my case it works
