Please note this is somewhat experimental (lot more in Windows) and the device MUST BE NOT BEING USED BY THE HOST OS! That is, no driver is using it (remove the module in Linux, uninstall the driver in Windows, are the better ways), or there will be a lot of changes that your host hangs badly. If you get it to work, notice us, and put the OS in the Official OS Support List at http://www.claunia.com/qemu/ thanks.
