Yes -- I just tried it again.  The only network that seems to be active 
is vboxnet -- which is detected by Network Manager, but Network Manager 
cannot activate vboxne -- Network Manager just "spins".    MS Win 7 Pro 
complains that there is no network adapter -- although the Intel MT 
hardware appears under the MS Win hardware GUI.  Does VirtualBox with a 
MS Win 7 guest have Internet access from the MS Win guest on your 
system?  What configuration are you using?  Could it be specific IEEE 
802.11 WNICs under SL -- some work, some do not with VirtualBox current? 
This used to work with an earlier 32 bit SL 6 system and an earlier 
release of VirtualBox. Note that the MS Win guest is 32 bit although 
both SL 7 and the VirtualBox system are 64 bit.
