Rather than presenting/storing/searching for the interface by its description, it should probably be using the interface name, which is unique. Of course, that will break everyone's VM configurations. Alternatively, VirtualBox could not stop searching after the first interface description match, and continue on, trying to attach to each matching interface until one of the attachments is successful. 42 I think VirtualBox needs to account for the possibility of multiple interfaces with the same alias.
