13892	Cant set promiscuous mode on more than 4 NICs	fr6nco		"Hi,

I needed to add more NICs to a ubuntu machine, but it allows only 4 via GUI, so remaining 4 I have added usin vboxmanage. However, it is not possible to set promiscuous mode on NIC indexed from 5-8.

I am attaching some outputs:

After I tried the following commands:
{{{
vboxmanage controlvm ubuntu_1204_ofsoftswitch nicpromisc5 allow-all
}}}
and
{{{
vboxmanage controlvm ubuntu_1204_ofsoftswitch nicproperty5 promiscuousModePolicy='allow-all'
}}}

but the result remained the same...

Expected result: NIC 5 is set to Promisc Policy - allow-all
[[BR]]
Actual result: NIC 5 remained in promisc policy - deny"	defect	closed	network	VirtualBox 4.3.22	fixed	promiscuous mode, vboxmanage, allow-all		Linux	Linux
