Genymotion networking

Issue

I use Genymotion for Android programming on Ubuntu 16.04 with wireless network. Everything works, emulator is connected, but when I click network applet it shows multiple "Ethernet network () device not managed" messages.

On another ubuntu machine, also 16.04, same network, there is no such confilict. It is same when I debug on my physical android device.

$ iwconfig

Solution

You can remove them by running this script:

for i in {0..130}; do VBoxManage hostonlyif remove vboxnet$i ; done

Replace "130" with the highest number of your interfaces. Not sure why Genymotion keeps creating those interfaces.
