As a result, no networking is available. Trying to load these 2 modules manually with modprobe results in an error message stating "Invalid module format". The problem seems to be caused by duplicate symbols in vboxdrv.ko and vboxguest.ko, which fools depmod and causes wrong modules to be loaded. After removing file vboxguest.ko (and also vboxvfs.ko and vboxvideo.ko, which are neither needed on a host) and running depmod again, everything worked fine. The easiest solution is probably to split package virtualbox-ose-kmp-* into 2 separate packages for hosts and guests. Surprisingly the problem was only observed on a 32 bit, but not on a 64 bit host.
