I'm using VirtualBox, too, straight the one from www.virtualbox.org,
and networking works just fine with the Intel PRO 1000 using NAT. You
just can't ping the machine, but everything else should work out of the
box. If Haiku gets a DHCP lease (10.0.0.2 I think it is by default),
everything is fine from this end, at least.

Unless you run a resolution VESA doesn't offer, you should give the
VESA mode a try. I'm using it here on my laptop, and it's very fast,
the only thing missing is hardware overlay.
