In my case, I use VMWare with a WinXP session to run proprietary software for work doing medical transcription. VMWare will allow me to forward USB devices to the virtual machine on the /proc/bus/usb tree, which works fine in 2.6.31-17 and below. However, who is it that decided we didn't need this functionality any longer? I'm stuck waiting for VMWare to get off their kiesters and update VMWare Server. I'd like to continue to use this setup while keeping to the improvements made in the newer kernel series. I find that Ubuntu is slipping away from my needs in this area. I'll be happy to reformat and reload a different distribution if Ubuntu can't support me in this way and I can certainly recommend the same to my friends. Downgrading to 31-17 is a pretty poor fix for this situation.
