usb, uhci, usbfs
« on: May 15, 2010, 07:22:17 AM »
I need for VirtualBox (not the OSE edition) the usbfs system to have access to usb devices.
I think for that is necessary to load the uhci module or something lake that, but there is no extension to provide it now.
I think libusb don't provide it nor usb-utils.
Is possible to have this in one extension?
It would create the /proc/bus/usb to mount usbfs?

Virtualbox should use libusb instead, but you can add this to bootlocal.sh:

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks Curaga, you are right.

Now I can select the usb devices, but then the OS in VirtualBox hangs, now I have to work around the permissions.
