It seems to control all usb connectivity, which is all that is needed I
presume. It actually is there in the VM 'removable Devices' -> 'USB
Devices'. When activating it, the error messages appear.

Jea, it's there but mouths when I want to use it. In Linux I can place
data files and delete others on it's usb storage part. The software for
the devices, like the mobile, has special programmes not available for
Linux; the reason why I need VMWare to connect.
