[Bug 1358157] Re: virtualbox-dkms 4.3.10-dfsg-1: virtualbox kernel module failed to build [error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given]

[Daniel Convissor]

This problem is fixed in VirtualBox-4.3.34 (maybe even earlier).  Can
Ubuntu's packaged version please be upgraded?  That way everyone can get
on with our lives.

  VirtualBox kernel module fails to build with the 14.04 lts-vivid kernel:
  linux-image-generic-lts-vivid              3.19.0.26.13

  The patch.txt from there works for me:

  -------------------
  Tested the new kernel.
