Can anyone explain why I am getting the following error

"Vagrant: Network type 'bridged' is invalid. Please use a valid network type."

when I try to bring vagrant up on Virtual Box with the following Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-    
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.hostname = "gitserver"
  config.berkshelf.enabled = true
  config.vm.box = "centos57"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://xx.xx.xx.xx/os/centos-5.7-x86_64.box"
  config.vm.network :bridged, :bridge => 'eth0'

  # Provision VM using chef
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"
    chef.add_recipe "mysqlserver"
  end

  config.vm.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 1024]
end

I have tried all possible combinations with bridged configuration, but it simply does not like it. I cannot find any additional info as to why. Any help here would be hugely appreciated.

Since you are using a Vagrant config file version 2 (and therefore Vagrant 1.1+) instead of :bridge there is now the new type :public_network.
