Hi Gerd,

In the "USB 2.0 Quick Start" write-up you said about USB
passthrough:

>  (2) hostbus+hostport -- match for a specific physical port in the
>      host, any device which is plugged in there gets passed to the
>      guest

A customer is asking what happens if a USB hub is plugged into
the specified port (instead of a device).   Will the hub get
passed through and the guest will see all devices plugged into
that hub?

Thanks,
Stuart

No.  You can't pass through hubs.

cheers,
  Gerd
