Virtualbox in Win7 bridged network no adapter

I won't get into why, after 10+ years I've switched my work desktop from Linux to Windows 7, but suffice to say its been painful. I still need access to a local linux install for various reasons so where I used to run Windows in a VM under linux, I now need to run linux in a VM under Windows. I ran into a problem which Googling didn't immediately solve and since there were other folks with a similar problem out there I thought I'd write it up.

Note: Win7 still reports that there is a problem with the network connection but it does work.
