Hello.
I'm a long time, but occasional VirtualBox user.
VBox has always worked fine for me, but now it's "featuring" a problem I
never experienced before.
It's possible I upgraded it, upgraded base OS, changed hardware in the
meantime... as I said my use is saltuary, so I really can't remember.
In any case, VMs with bridged network start fine and work properly.
However, when I shutdown/kill/stop/pause/snapshot/etc... a VM, the
network hangs as a whole (even for the host).
I have to:
# ifconfig re0 down
# ifconfig re0 up
# dhclient re0
in order to make it start again (before restarting any deamon that might
have died meanwhile).
I tried seeing if this is a known issue, but could fine nothing.

Packages are build in Poudriere from quarterly branch.
The only message in the logs, when this happens is:
kernel: re0: promiscuous mode disabled
Any hint here?
bye & Thanks
