"hotplug" des not take over devices, usb drivers take over them.

I think the latest version of vmware can disconnect the device from the
Linux driver it is bound to, but if not, you can do it by hand by either
unloading the module, or by writing to a sysfs file called "disconnect"
in the driver's directory.
Hope this helps,
