this is in continuation of the question asked here about host only adapter on dhcp

I upgraded to vagrant 1.6.3 and the updated Vagrantfile to following setting for multiple adapters

# add additional adapter for inter machine networking
dev.vm.network :private_network, :type => "dhcp", :adapter => "2", :netmask => "255.255.255.0"

it goes through creating adapters but then fails bringing up the mic on vm

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

ARPCHECK=no /sbin/ifup eth 2> /dev/null

Stdout from the command:

Device eth does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.


Stderr from the command:

how ever when I log in to the environment I see two network interfaces as expected

I am bit confused here on why it is trying to add another mic (eth2)? In the VM I used for creating this vagrant box, I had added two NICs already.
