But this doesn't work for me: (qemu) info usbhost Device 3.2, speed 1.5 Mb/s Class 00: USB device 0d3d:0001, USBPS2 Device 1.3, speed 480 Mb/s Hub: USB device 04b4:6560 Device 1.5, speed 1.5 Mb/s Vendor Specific: USB device 0973:0001, SchlumbergerSema Cryptoflex e-gate (qemu) usb_add host:1.5 (qemu) info usb Device 0.0, Speed 1.5 Mb/s, Product SchlumbergerSema Cryptoflex e-g but no device shows up on the guest. is this kind of usb bridge supported in kvm? does it work for you? with kvm version are you using? using a special guest kernel? should a normal kernel with no special compile options or patches work as well? thanks for your help.
