[Xen-users] Forwarding USB-Modem into guest? Impossible?
Hi, is there any way to forward usb-modems into Windows guest atm? I tried it with --- cut usb=1 usbdevice=''host:047e:2892'' --- cut but I only get an error in my logs: --- cut usb_host: error - device has no matching configuration Warning: could not add USB device host:047e:2892 --- cut If I try the the same syntax (other address of course) for one USB-Storage- Device I get no error and can access this usb device from inside my guest. Why does this just don''t work for modems? And are there any plans to change this in the near future or is it impossible? Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

We had goog experiences with passthroughing the whole USB-Controller. Maybe this is an option for you? hth, Thomas> > Why does this just don''t work for modems?

I can''t believe that I need to buy hardware for several thousand euros just to have possibilities users with 500€ computers have... so... pushing the whole usb controller into a guest need vt-d as far as I know.> > hth, > > Thomas > > > Why does this just don''t work for modems?
