Folks, I have a USB "flash-drive" which I need to connect to my Linux box but do NOT want Linux to associate it with the standard "usb-storage" driver. I need to attach it to a Vmware virtual machine, which is not possible once the device is claimed by the Linux driver. Although unloading the usb-storage driver will allow the VM to attach the device it is not an option as I will then loose access (on the Linux side) to other USB hard drivers that use the same driver.
The output of /proc/bus/usb/devices for this device is shown below, is there a simple way to tell the usb sub-system to NOT attach this device to a driver ?
