FreeBSD dv8t01 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #3: Sun Nov 29 21:36:10 CST 2009     root at dv8t01:/usr/obj/usr/src/8.0-REL/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
Currently, when loading the vboxnetadp kernel module, you first need to load the vboxnetflt kernel module.

When vboxnetadp is loaded first, it produces this error message:

dv8t01# kldload vboxnetadp
kldload: can't load vboxnetadp: Exec format error

The problem is that vboxnetadp.ko expects to find a kernel module named ng_vboxnetflt.ko in the modules path, but no such module exists.

There are 2 ways to fix this problem:

1. rename vboxnetflt.ko to ng_vboxnetflt.ko in the KMODDIR

2. Patch src/VBox/HostDrivers/VBoxNetAdp/freebsd/VBoxNetAdp-freebsd.c to change the MODULE_DEPEND to use vboxnetflt instead of ng_vboxnetflt

>How-To-Repeat:
install virtualbox, and then kldload vboxnetadp
>Fix:
The attached patch changes the vboxnetadp.ko to depend on vboxnetflt.ko instead of ng_vboxnetflt.ko.

Patch attached with submission follows:
