I installed VirtualBox on CentOS 6.0. Installed Windows 7 as a guest OS. Now it doesnt recognize the network card in the guest OS even after I installed guest additions. The network mode is NAT. Previously I tried bridged mode but that didn't work either. How do I resolve this?

I've spent 1 day, trying anything, manytimes unistall & install again (with reboot system). I have tried tens of methods, nothing can help me. Also I've tried to install drivers pack. I've tried to install different version (even beta)... Don't like Hyper-V, never had same problems with Hyper-V... nonsence...

Added (Fixed!): Wow, finally I've fixed it, you know how? Before I've tried to choose different ethernet NICs from the list in network configuration of machine in VirtualBox - nothing could help me. I've just installed 6.0.12 version (the last was 6.0.14), and fixed it even without reboot. What I did: I downloaded Full pack of ethernet-drivers (you can find it in google drp dot su), but didn't run it! just unpack everything from folder "drivers", then update drivers in Drivers Manager, by choose second option: Others-Ethernet-controller(unknown device) and choose manual where to find for drivers... That's it. I've tried to do same in others version ov VirtualBox (it didn't help me, also don't install version 5.0 it will not work). Also before these manipulations I've changed NIC, to pcnet fast III & intel pro/1000 MT server. But if you only change it, it will not help...

Also don't forget to install new version of Extension pack for your version of VirtualBox. And don't use Portable version of VirtualBox, it will not work work correctly for now.
