Network interface on DisplayLink does not function with Virtualbox bridge mode

I have been trying to use a Virtualbox Win10 guest on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation.
Virtualbox guests can be configured to NAT through the host or BRIDGE the host network interface.
When I tried to bridge with the DisplayLink network interface, the guest would get an DHCP address from the network server, but then not be pingable from anywhere.
With the network cable plugged directly into the laptop, the bridged Virtualbox guest works perfectly.

NAT mode works perfectly with either interface, but BRIDGED mode is required to expose the Win10 guest on the LAN.
