kvm, emulation hangs when using some usb device

kvm, emulation hangs when using some usb device

[slavik]

I have some troubles with passing usb into kvm virtual machine.
I trying to provide the usb device 2022:0008 (Amikon vpn key) or 19d2:2000
(ZTE MF112 hsdpa modem)  into virtual machine with windows xp iax32.
kvm virtual machine was hung completely, and stop responding to anything.
Maybe I need there some trick to use this kind (switchable?) of usb devices?

As a command line option? If so what options did you use for the usb
components?

Have you enabled USB 2.0 on your host system? If yes -> causes issues 
(Windows Bluescreen e.g.) with printers and sometimes other USB 2.0 
devices. If you set it to USB 1.1, it should be fine but the transfer rate 
is extremely low.

I would propose the ehci-patch from David, this works quite nice and gives 
a good transfer performance and no bluescreens with printers and so on.

Best regards,

Erik

It's the legacy syntax - you are already using it with the tablet
option. If it cleared your problem then it is also synonymous for bug in
the -device route.

Re: kvm, emulation hangs when using some usb device

[slavik]

it works for ZTE modem, but still hung with -usbdevice host:2022:0008
(amikon vpn key).
any ideas?

I am not familiar with that device. It may well not be compatible going
through the USB 1.1 controller.

So -usbdevice cleared the "freeze"/"hung" problem the other device --
the modem?
