Adaptador somente para Host VirtualBox não funciona no host Debian

Question

Estou tendo problemas com o adaptador Host-Only do VirtualBox que não está funcionando em uma máquina host Debian.

Eu tenho a seguinte configuração de rede no host.

2: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 74:e5:f9:ec:75:66 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.165.130.183/20 brd 10.165.143.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp2s0
       valid_lft 642sec preferred_lft 642sec
    inet6 fe80::76e5:f9ff:feec:7566/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: vboxnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: vboxnet1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

As interfaces do vboxnet não estão iniciando e, mesmo se eu iniciá-las manualmente, elas não recebem um endereço IP como deveriam.

Eu tenho meus usuários adicionados aos vboxusers e essas são as configurações para a VM.

O problema foi corrigido instalando o package net-tools. Aparentemente, o sistema estava faltando a ferramenta ifconfig que o VirtualBox usa para configurar as interfaces de rede.
