serial usb-device can't be passed-through to a guest

it is reproduced here with jaunty and kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu12

but the patch doesn't work here

Did you really patch the right code section?
I do remember that there has been a similarly code above/below that confused me with my first try to patch.

Hi,

i have the same problem with CentOS 5.4 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 x86, the usb key it's a "Active Key"

kvm-83-105.el5_4.13
qemu-0.10.6-1.el5.rf

dmesg
hiddev97: USB HID v1.10 Device [Eutron InfoSecurity SmartKey 3 DL] on usb-0000:00:1a.1-1.2

lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 073d:0026 Eutron S.p.a.

tail -f /var/log/libvirt/qemu/w2k3.log
usb_linux_update_endp_table: Broken pipe
Warning: could not add USB device host:073d:0026

There is a fix for this bug ?

Tnx

Yes,
to fix this problem use a newer kvm (or better qemu-kvm).

The fix within my first post worked too, at least for me.

Thanks.

Hello Anthony,

which qemu-kvm version do you expect to work with serial usb devices?

After you've changed this ticket status and I've checked it again with qemu-kvm version 0.12.4. The reported error message is gone away and the device is present in the guest. The cdc_acm driver loads too without any visible problems, but the device is still unusable.
The device data led flash if it gets un/initialized by minicom.
But if I try to make a test dial, nothing happens after I call a phone number.

To be more precise:
-host dosn't have loaded the cdc_acm driver
-guest loads the cdc_acm driver
-a dial with minicom to the same phone number works on the host, if I load the cdc_acm within the host

I would like to get this fixed, as I really want to use this usb-device as my dusty fax again.
