Hi,
I want to run lede in a vm with virtualbox. Like in this tutorial.
But after starting the vm there is no network entry in uci show network...
And there is no network config under /etc/config/network
What can I do?
Use the combined-ext4.img.gz image instead.
Had the same problem. The tutorial on LEDE page is either lacking some steps or there is a mistake.
@r43k3n is right. If you want a better explanation of all the different images, read this link:
https://we.riseup.net/lackof/openwrt-on-x86-64
If it can help, I've been using real hardware once and after dumping the image on the physical disk, I had to create another ext4 partition to put all required Ethernet drivers and dependencies. Then I installed the drivers using opkg and rebooting gave me a working LEDE setup with Internet access.
You don't need to do that on VMware (I've tested it) but YMMV with VirtualBox.
Sorry I'm writing so late again.
Someone posted a working answer but deleted it again?
It was something with dd ...
Thanks for alle the answers. 
Edit:
Thanks bash history 
it was:
dd if=lede-x86-64-combined-squashfs.img of=padded.img bs=100M conv=sync
In my case it was because NIC was emulated using E1000, and not VMXNET 3. I switched to VMXNET 3 and it worked.
