They probably need "non-free" drivers, which goes against how Debian
does things.  I ran into this with an intel WLAN card.  Just had the
driver *deb on a USB key that I installed once the system was running.

vbox emulates some rather "old" network cards (e.g. the intel
single-port gbit NICs that have been around since 2000 or so).  As I
recall, those cards have been in the kernel since the early 3.x releases
(if not 2.x), so Debian doesn't run into any "non-free" kernel module
issues.
