Could you detail the steps to make it work? I am using the sys-usb in the way it came by default in QubeOS R4.0 , and attaching it to the needed AppVM doesn't do anything for me. I am using a Yubikey NEO btw. Normal storage USBs such as pendrives and such I have no problems in assigning a AppVM from the sys-usb. I am only having problems with the Yubikey NEO.
