Problem description:

When I start my computer, network (wired) connects normally, and displays as "connected" icon in the indicator bar. Everything seems to be working fine.

Next, I'll open my Virtualbox, which has one host-only –adapter set for guests, and new network device appears to my "Network settings" -tab. This also is prepended to the list of devices, making my previously first network (wired) to be listed as second. (And its name changes as well, but I don't think it has anything to do with the problem)

Networks after starting Virtualbox

This makes my network-indicator to display as "not connected" – even if my hosts connection works fine. I think it has something to do with the new vboxnet0 – Device, which is now displayed as first device?

Networks, virtualbox virtual device as first

Question:

Is there a way to set the physical device to be listed first even if I initialize numerous virtualbox adapters?

I'd like that the indicator would always display the status of my physical (host) connectivity to the internet (which it does until the start of the virtualbox) - so there's something which changes the indicator whenever a new vboxnet is initialized.

EDIT1: I made some configurations on autostarting my VM on boot, and noticed that whenever the VM is initialized on background, no vboxnet0 - devices appear to my hosts devices list.
