no public network needed #8

Thanks for this great repo! This helps me a lot to build RPi kernels.

I wondered why the Vagrant box needs a public network, so I removed that line. Then the VM just uses the hosts interface in NAT mode and still can download the GitHub repos for firmware and tools.

This simplifies the vagrant up step as the user is no longer asked which network to use.

@StefanScherer good catch. i think that's a vestige of one of the original goals of this vagrant box. it was also going to be a netboot server for testing Ras Pis, but i think we are going to do that in a separate repo and keep this one focused on kernel building. thanks for the help!

Thanks for merging.

You propably want to simplify the learning page https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-kernel-o-matic/starting-the-vm

The following lines could be removed.

During the install process, Vagrant will ask for a network interface to connect the VM to. Choose the network interface you use to connect to the internet. For me, the choice was option number 1, which corresponds to the WiFi interface on my laptop.

@StefanScherer yeah, good idea. I'm going to need to overhaul it a bit after #7 gets tested and merged, so I'll clean things up during that process. Thanks for the feedback, and let us know if you spot anything else!
