depends on how the IrDA dongles works. If it only uses bulk endpoints
than this is quite clear. Bluetooth uses an interrupt endpoint for the
HCI events and this includes command status and command complete to
report the number of completed packets.

I never looked at the details of the Qemu implementation, but if it
doesn't use the async URB interface then you have problems. VMware is
using this interface and normally works quite good. You might wanna
simply try out VMware Workstation 6.0 beta something.
