virtualbox and ubuntu adding ethernet

[AMER]

Thank you

Yes, really I want to have 4 ethernet ports in Ubuntu which is installed in VirtualBox, however, the virtualbox by default has 4 network adapters and I will going to use host-only or internal network.
I have only eth0 and eth1 in " /etc/network/interfaces"

Best regards,
