    Please see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
    
    as to information of what the extension pack provides....
    
    Partially, from the page...
    
    Extension packs. Additional extension packs can be downloaded which
    extend the functionality of the Oracle VM VirtualBox base package.
    Currently, Oracle provides a single extension pack, available from:
    http://www.virtualbox.org. The extension pack provides the following
    added functionality:
    
    The virtual USB 2.0 (EHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB
    Settings”.
    
    The virtual USB 3.0 (xHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB
    Settings”.
