VMware + USB (on Linux Host)

Submitted by cahn on 27 October, 2008 - 1:13pm

WARNING! The article below is based on my experience with VMWare Workstation 3. It may well be old so the users of the article are at their own risk!

Note VMware uses usbdevfs to access Linux host's USB system.

1. Make sure that usbdevfs is enabled in your kernel. (If not, you should recompile your kernel with that enabled)
2. Reboot the system with the new kernel (if you recompiled it). You should be able to see /proc/bus/usb (under RedHat, at least)
3. Edit /etc/fstab and add the following code:

none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0

4. Mount /proc/bus/usb and you should be able to use USB under your guest OS.
