No network with VirtualBox, Bridged Mode, and MAC Spoofing
Several people reported that issue already, see 4876dc836b06b6133da4469563622162 and 96b23004bf726b06aaa033b0c605e499.
I can provide email addresses of users for debugging if needed.
1. Install VirtualBox from Debian’s repository (version 4.3.14-dfsg-1
for two users).
2. Boot any Tails with Mac Address Spoofing as an available option.
3. Keep the Mac Address Spoofing option enabled and log in at the
greeter.
This happens with Bridged Mode but not with NAT Mode.
With NAT Mode:
I found that it works in NAT mode, but fails in Bridged Mode.
In NAT mode, which works, the following is logged:
localhost dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth0/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
localhost dhclient: Sending on LPF/eth0/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
localhost dhclient: Sending on Socket/fallback localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67

In Bridged Mode, when it fails, the following is logged:
