Virtualbox - missing /etc/init/vbox* problem w/host-only if

[vespaman]

I'm trying to get Virtualbox up and running on my desktop @work, which is not going according to plan.. I have tried both source and bin versions, both of which gives me problems when creating a host-only network interface.

e.g:

VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory.


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
HostNetworkInterfaceWrap
Interface:
IHostNetworkInterface {455f8c45-44a0-a470-ba20-27890b96dba9}

And sure enough - there's no /dev/vboxnetctl on my system!
Now there are some suggestion that to fix these kind of problems, one should issue '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' - However I have no virtualbox stuff in my /etc/init/ : this is missing, I have a feeling this has changed in the later virtual boxes?

Has anyone seen this? And a remedy?
