I am playing around with Vmware. I am trying to use a Corsair USB flash drive on the virtual (Win) machine.
The documentation for Vmware states that "On Linux hosts, VMware Workstation uses USB device file system to connect to USB devices. In most Linux systems that support USB, the USB device filesystem is at /proc/bus/usb" and that if it is somewhere else then to put in the correct path in the *.vmx file.
Of course, SUSE is not a "most Linux system[s]".
Does anyone know, please, what in 10.1 is the equivalent path to "/proc/bus/usb"?
The mainline kernel has phased this out and just left it in as compatibility option. You can still mount this fs (mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb). Device enumeration (as VMWare does) should be done via sysfs and access via libusb. => The upstream kernel changed, VMWare needs to change too. Ciao, Marcus
