Hello,
By utilizing a local smart card reader and regular Windows XP/etc one
can utilize the smart card remotely.
If I take a smart card reader (USB) and attach it to Linux assuming the
drivers recognized it OK is there anyway to make or have this device
pass-through to the KVM (Windows) on Linux?
I did not see any kvm smart card options in qemu-system-x86_64 -h output.
The -usbdevice option can pass-through host devices identified by bus
address or vendor:product ID without the need for device class specific
options.
To attach the device at usb bus address 5.3 (bus 5, device 3):
# qemu-system-x86_64 <other options> -usb -usbdevice host:5.3
To add the device with vendor ID 0c5b and product ID 4201:
# qemu-system-x86_64 <other options> -usb -usbdevice host:0c5b:4201
You need to have usbdevfs mounted at /proc/bus/usb for it to work. You
can attach devices on the qemu command line and attach or detach devices
via the qemu console while the VM is running (help usb_add; help usb_del).
