Fix networking under VirtualBox

Jeremy Soller requested to merge haellowyyn:master into master

Created by: haellowyyn

Problem: When building Redox and running it under VirtualBox ($ make all; make virtualbox) the DHCP lease seems to fail and there is no network access ($ ./dl_bmp.sh hangs). This is reproducible on OS X 10.11.6 and VirtualBox 5.1.2.

Solution: In the VM's network adapter settings, setting the NIC's "Cable Connected" option solves the problem.

Changes introduced by this pull request:

  • In the Makefile target responsible for creating the VirtualBox VM, an additional invocation of modifyvm is added to enable 'cableconnected'.
