Doesn't really work, virtualbox complaints loudly the tap0 device is
down, ignoring that after virtual machine is up-n-running, the
	ifconfig tap0 192.168.20.1 up
still gives  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): tap0: link is not ready

Using wireshark I see guest machine is sending dhcp request but no
message is sent out from the host as before.
