It is part of <a href="http://roy.marples.name/openrc" rel="nofollow">openrc</a>: I'm not uploading it directly because it's not useful without the rest of the openrc system ;) Anyway, as soon as I conclude some open issues with some work in progress, I'll rewrite this guide by trying to go in further detail.

Besides the differences in the way init is handled, I don't have any interfaces named VBox. Guess I need to try the Bridge method and see if I can learn enough to come back and try this again.

When I run the script
sh vboxnat.sh
I get an error mesage
vboxnat.sh: line 6: /sbin/functions.sh: No such file or directory
Is functions.sh unique to Gentoo?
