I just upgraded my mac OS from Catalina to Big Sur. My vagrant used to be working normally before and then I encountered this issue. (Vagrant version: 2.2.13)
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]
Stderr: 0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterfaceWrap, interface IHostNetworkInterface
VBoxManage: error: Context: "RTEXITCODE handleCreate(HandlerArg *)" at line 95 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
When I tried to start it manually on the VirtualBox this is the return message:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.
Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this issue?

I had the same issue after updating to Big Sur. I downloaded the latest versions of Vagrant, Virtualbox and VirtualBox Extension Pack. Actually, I don’t know if installing the Extension Pack was necessary.
And in the system preferences of MacOS, in Privacy and Security, I had to approve the update from Oracle.
After these steps, I was able to ‘vagrant up’ again.
