Virtualbox Bridged Adapter Linux

Host OS: 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686
Guest OS: Windows XP

Error:
NAT connection is working fine and mine is a wired connection but when I try to connect via bridged adapter I get
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0'
(VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)
moreover
-bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory

Solution: Run following as root before launching VBox

insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/VirtualBox-OSE/vboxnetflt.ko
insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/VirtualBox-OSE/vboxnetadp.ko
