_O_SE, not DSE (Virtualbox Open Source Edition).

It's the main Virtualbox window (at least at FreeBSD). You can
change the card at the settings for apropriate virtual machine.
Select the network properties and then the card (this should be
done when the virtual machine is nor running). Next time you
launch that virtual machine (ex. start FreeBSD installation)
another network card will be detected.
