title: no network in Android x86 on VirtualBox 4.1.2
body: <p>My issue is nearly identical to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8227825/android-x86-porting-unable-to-make-it-work">this question</a>. I tried those solution and none worked. But I am using a different Android x86 image. I'm using the ICS (4.0-RC1) asus_laptop image. (I tried a different image previously and couldn't get it to install.)</p>
  
  <p>I installed VirtualBox 4.1.12 on Kubuntu 12.04. I followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1554099/slow-android-emulator/6058689#6058689">these steps</a> and installed the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/detail?name=android-x86-4.0-RC1-asus_laptop.iso&amp;can=2&amp;q=" rel="noreferrer">android-x86-4.0-RC1-asus_laptop.iso</a> image in my VM. It boots up and works correctly except for networking.</p>
  
  <p>Alt-F1 <code>netcfg</code> shows no interfaces up except the lo (127.0.0.1). eth0, which should be available, is not shown. That prevents me from trying the <a href="http://osdir.com/ml/android-x86/2011-11/msg00352.html" rel="noreferrer">solution here</a>.</p>
