It is worth pointing out, that this 'hack' doesn't actually help vmware - my copy of workstation doesn't pick up usb devices being inserted, I have to suspend / resume the image for them to be picked up.
-- USB devices are not shown in /procu/bus/usb/ causing VMWare to fail to see them https://launchpad.net/bugs/35004 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
